Event Description

It was reported that the patient developed mycotic aortic arch pseudoaneurysm with mycobacterium abscessus two and a half years after orthotopic heart transplantation and cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, requiring the use of the device.The device was not changed out.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.Per the clinical review on 11-jan-2016: manufacturer clinical services staff spoke with the user facility physicians (mds) of the infectious disease section.Our conversation was in regards to the medwatch reports filed by the hospital in reference to the heater cool unit.This patient was diagnosed with a mycobacterium abscessus infection and aortic arch pseudoaneurysm after a heart transplant.The transplant occured on (b)(6) 2012 and the infection was diagnosed on (b)(6) 2014.The patient later expired (date is unknown).According to both mds, there is no connection or association between the heater cooler unit and the patient infection.The hospital was mandated by the state of (b)(6) to retrospectively look back the previous four years for patients that developed mycobacterium infections post cardiothoracic surgery where cpb was used and a heater cooler unit was used during the procedure.This mandate followed the food and drug administration (fda) and center of disease control (cdc) safety communications (in regards to mycobacterium infections associated with heater-coolers) in (b)(6) 2015.According to the mds, they would not have filed the medwatch report if this mandate was not in place, because there was no medical or laboratory data to associate the use of the heater cooler unit with these infections.This heater cooler unit has been used and continues to be used at the hospital.According to both mds, there is mycobacteria in the philadelphia and delaware valley water system and they theorize this was the likely cause of infection in these post-transplant and immunosuppressed patients.There was no delay in the procedure and no blood loss associated with the use of the heater cooler unit.The procedure was completed as scheduled and nothing was changed out during the procedure.
