Limited Warranty 

The  FlowTrax  Infusion Device Analyzer is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a 

period of four (4) years from the date of shipment to the original purchaser.   Warranty is valid only to the 
original buyer.   Defective equipment should be returned freight prepaid to Pronk Technologies.   Equipment 
returned with defective parts and assemblies shall be either repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s sole 
discretion.  This warranty is not applicable if the unit has been opened, if repair has been attempted, if the unit 
has been damaged due to operation outside the environmental and power specifications for the product, if a test 
fluid is used other than distilled water or due to improper handling or use, or if it has been calibrated by an 
unauthorized calibration lab.   

Warranty is for a period of one (1) year from date of shipment to the original purchaser, when original 

purchaser is located outside North and South America.  This warranty is extended to (2) years, if the product is 
calibrated by Pronk or a Pronk authorized service center within 14 months of original shipment.  All other 
standards warranty terms apply. 

If any fault develops, notify Pronk Technologies (see Returns and Repairs) giving full details of the difficulty, 

and include the model and serial number of the device.   Upon receipt of shipping instructions, forward the 
device prepaid and repairs will be made at the factory.   

If Pronk Technologies determines a fault has occurred as a result of test fluid being used that is not 

recommended, that repair will be billable. A repair during the warranty period resulting from non-recommended 
test fluids being used will be performed at a nominal flat rate. The warranty will be reinstated following that 
repair (i.e. if the repair occurs 3 years into the warranty, the warranty period will continue for one more year).   

The foregoing warranty is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied, including but not limited to any 

implied warranty or merchantability, fitness or adequacy for any particular purpose or use.  Pronk Technologies 
shall be liable only for repair or replacement of the FlowTrax Infusion Device Analyzer and optional features.  
Pronk Technologies shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages.
