Manufacturer Narrative

The customer's report of an air in line alarm occurring with use of the set was confirmed.Air bubbles were observed within the set.The set sample was inspected for kinks, holes/tears in the tubing or damages to the components.There were two tears in the silicone segment directly below the upper fitment component.There was a crush marking along the upper fitment.No other damage or issue was observed.Although damage was observed, the set was re-primed.Close inspection observed fluid leaking from the tears.No leak or issue was observed from anywhere else.Although leaks were observed, the set was loaded into a lab pump module and an infusion was programmed at a rate of 125ml for one hour.Approximately ten minutes into the infusion, an air in line alarm occurred.The cause of the alarm was due to tears on the silicone segment component.The root cause of the damage was not identified.The device history record search for model 2200-0500 could not be conducted due to no lot number being provided.
