B. Central Water Plant Reverse Osmosis Unit (CWP 60)

Reason

Baxter Corporation is issuing a device correction for specific models of the central water plant (CWP) reverse osmosis units in order to correct the insufficient crimping of the cables within the main pump. The issue was identified as a result of customer complaints received for the presence of smoke in the water treatment room due to the overheating of the pump in the CWP. As part of Baxter's investigation, based on pictures provided from the event, the most likely cause of the thermal event was due to the crimp of the cables for the main pump being insufficient. To minimize any potential side effects of thermal events, please ensure all panels of the CWP are in place.
