| Issue: | Manufacturer has determined that on some systems a slight cracking of the tubing (the tubing for the Wash1, acid, and base bottle reservoirs) at the connecting fitting on the reservoir connector assembly may occur due to mechanical stress.The cracking may result in a minor drip of fluid onto the reservoir and into the drip tray located underneath the reservoirs. The potential for minimal fluid leakage outside the system exists. The drip will cause the reservoir to empty faster than the system expects. |
