Based on internal investigations, Fresenius Kabi has identified a multifaceted set of events involving the CATSmart Systems, including the device, software, and disposable which may result in the centrifuge tubing line making contact with the washing chamber. The contact may result in excessive wear of the centrifuge tubing or in extreme cases a puncture of the tubing.
