Although requested, section was not provided by the customer.The customer report that carboplatin free-flowed down into the primary bag was not confirmed or replicated during testing.Internal and external inspection was performed and no issues were found that would have contributed to the customers reported free flow event.The customer did not return the administration sets in use at the time of the event therefore no testing could be performed.The customer reported that no infusion had been started so no log review was performed.Timed rate accuracy testing was performed and the device was within specification.During testing there were no periods of unregulated flow observed or the condition described where the secondary fluid back flowed into the primary bag.The root cause was not determined.
