Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The customer¿s report of the burette tubing with a filter leaked tpn was confirmed.The set was visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.Yellowish colored liquid was observed in the set¿s burette and entire length of tubing.No abnormalities were observed on the set during visual inspection.Functional testing observed leaking out of both filter vents on the set¿s micron filter.Visual inspection observed no damage to the filter¿s membrane or housing.Although the root cause was not definitively determined, the probable cause of the observed filter vent leak was due to a clog/oversaturation of the filter and the time of use from which the fluid flow was restricted.The fluid then seeks the path of least resistance through the filter vent.
