Manufacturer Narrative
|
The customer¿s report that the tubing was swelling into a balloon-like shape was confirmed.The set was visually inspected for kinks, incomplete bonding engagements, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.Clear liquid was observed inside the tubing throughout the entire set.At the top of the silicone pump segment tubing near the upper fitment, it was observed that the silicone tubing was softened or weakened.The weakened tubing was also found to be at the location where a balloon would naturally occur.Further visual inspection of the silicone tubing confirmed that the tubing's concentricity was within specification.Previously investigated complaints for this same failure mode determined that the ballooning is caused by excess pressure within the silicone tubing segment.The root cause for the source of the excessive pressure is unknown.
