The device history record was reviewed on 2020-07-08.There were no references found, which are indicating a nonconformance of the product in question.Results of laboratory investigation (performed on 2020-10-15): during leak test a leakage at the de-airing membrane was noticed.As a most probable root cause it can be assumed that air entered the circuit due to the leakage leading to clotting and thus an increasing transmembrane pressure.Following possible root causes were determined for the leakage: -membrane untight; -bonding untight; -welding bar of the de-airing connection untight.Thus the failure could be confirmed.The occurrence rate was calculated for the reported failure and it was determined that this is not a systemic issue.Therefore, no remedial action is required.The occurrence rate related to the reported issue is currently being monitored as part of maquet cardiopulmonary¿s trending program and additional investigations or corrections will be implemented in case of adverse trending.
