It was reported that the delta pressure increased and the mixed venous oxygen saturation (sv02) decreased during treatment.The patient was infected with covid-19.Covid-19 diseases can be associated with intravascular coagulation activation, microcirculation disorders and increased risk of thromboembolism despite good systemic anticoagulation.Due to the high risk of spreading the sars-cov-2 virus outside the healthcare environment, a technical investigation of this hls set is not possible as the laboratory of maquet cardiopulmonary gmbh is not suitable for who risk group 3.Furthermore, no external laboratory could be found that could carry out the investigation on our behalf.During the technical investigation of the similar (b)(4) on (b)(6) 2020 clots were detected inside the oxygenator.The most probable root cause for the increased pressure drop are clots in the oxygenator leading to a blockage and thus an extension of the diffusion path lowering the oxygenating performance.With reference to the risk assessment (hls set advanced 5.0 / hls set advanced 7.0, dms # 1468452, v25) and in consultation with the manager medical affairs the following events can contribute to clotting in the circuit: de-airing luer lock connection too loose.Air remains in or enters the circuit.Hemostasis.Air or blood remains in luer lock access port.Too low anticoagulation.Too low at level, effect of heparin is too limited.Protamine sulfate enters the hls set.Administration of substitution of congealable substance such as plateles.(consumption) coagulopathy.Thrombozytopenia.Device history record review was performed on (b)(6) 2020 and there were no references found, which are indicating a nonconformance of the product in question.The reported failure "high delta p and decrease svo2" could be confirmed.The occurrence rate was calculated for the reported issue 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.
