Reason
During ongoing product development testing, it was discovered that, when the two inflow barbs on adapter 201048 # 4 are in a position to face one direction, the top Barblock may interfere with the top surface of bottom barb of the adapter. The interference may cause the plunger on the suction side to lift slightly which may affect flow of sterilant into the suction lumen.
