The customer¿s report that the tubing ballooned at the upper fitment of the pumping segment was confirmed by pressure testing.The balloon is caused by excessive pressure within the silicone segment.The root cause for the source of the excessive pressure is unknown.The set was visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.No balloon observed silicone segment tubing (p/n 12088541) during inspection.Clear liquid was observed inside both of the set¿s tubing and drip chamber.No other anomalies were observed on the set during visual inspection.The set was loaded into a lab pump module device.The primary infusion was programmed at a rate of 100ml/h and vtbi 100ml for 1 hour.No alarms or any other issues were noted by the device.No bulge/ balloon was observed in the silicone segment.Finally the set was attached to an air pump and completely submerged in warm water.A balloon occurred at 17 psi.After the functional testing, three samples of the silicone segment were analyzed and the walls were found to be concentric.The customer¿s report that the set did not flow properly was not confirmed.Functional testing was performed and the set flowed properly.The root cause of the improper flow was not identified.
