    THE SPLITTING OF THE TUBE CAUSED THE PATIENT TO RE-INTUBATED. BASE ON THE REPORTED INFORMATION THE CRITERIA FOR REPORTING AN ADVERSE EVENT HAS BEEN MET. COMPLAINT CONFIRMED WITH THE PHOTOS PROVIDED IN THE RELATED COMPLAINTS AND RETURNED GOODS. THE ROOT CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THAT THE HOSE THAT FEEDS ONE OF THE PLASTIC RESINS INTO THE BLENDER WAS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED.
