Description

INOvent, Nitric Oxide Delivery System. Model Number 1605-9000-000

Reason

The Kel-F Tip mounted on the high pressure hose can become dislodge/lodged in the INOmax valve outlet.

Action

On June 29, 2006, the firm sent a letter to its consignees advising them to visually verify that the Kel F tip is in place before attempting to connect either of the high pressure hoses to the INOmax cylinders. INO advised that if the tip was not in place, the operator should immediately replace the tip before attaching the hoses. On July 5, 2005, the firm sent a second letter to their consignees with extra Kel F tips and existing instructions from the INOvent Operation & Maintenance Manual outlining the proper replacement procedure for the tips. The firm is following with telephone contact to assure that the letters were delivered to the proper person(s).
