Event Description
|
The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that prior to cardiopulmonary bypass, during prime, they noticed bubbles coming up through the reservoir from the centrifugal inlet.As per user facility, while recirculating, they noticed bubbles coming up through the reservoir from the centrifugal inlet.Bubbles were also seen in the rear, seen both from front and back.And when we stopped recirculating, the venous line de-primed by a foot or more.This occurred with shunts closed.The pump was changed out.They double-checked all the luers and connections and were tightly closed.When the system was running, its negative pressure on the venous line likely caused cavitation of microbubbles into the fluid-filled part of the reservoir.This issue persisted even with a large amount of circulating prime volume so the point of entry for air must have been closer to the top of the venous inlet tube.When the system was turned off, being open to air somewhere along the tube allowed the venous line to completely de-prime.It is unknown if there was a delay, if the surgery was completed successfully, if it caused or contributed to an injury to the patient or if there was a blood loss.Terumo continues an attempt to gain more information regarding this event from the user facility.Product was changed out.
