Manufacturer Narrative
|
The customer¿s report that the tubing came apart at the port below the drip chamber and leaked was confirmed based on visual inspection.The separation was at the engagement between the tubing and smartsite valve (inlet of upper valve) components.Further inspection of the separated tubing end identified the issue to be due to insufficient solvent being applied at the tubing engagement along with the tubing not being fully inserted.Dimensional measurement confirmed the tubing to be within specification.The set was visually inspected for kinks, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.No other damages or issues were observed.No testing was deemed necessary due to the obvious separation.The root cause of the separation is due to a combination of factors related to insufficient solvent and improper assembly due to equipment and/or operator error.
