Official wording

Reason: As a result of product complaints, breathing circuits are experiencing discolored fluid which are formed when therapy was being given with specific medication through the nebulizer cup. Discoloration is caused by a reaction between medicated mist and an inadvertent/unapproved addition of a nickel coating on the spring component.
