H6: investigation conclusions: code 4310 is based upon the investigation of the provided information; code 67 is based upon investigation of the returned sample.This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the device return date in section d9, update section h3, and to provide the completed investigation results.Visual inspection of the actual sample upon receipt found no anomaly such as a breakage was found.After rinsing and drying the actual sample, the oxygenator was installed into a circuit consisting of tubes, and bovine blood (hct: 35%, temp.: 37°c) was circulated with a flow rate of 8.0 l/min.Then, the pressure drop was measured.It was confirmed to meet the factory's specifications and no obstruction was found.After circulation of bovine blood, saline solution was flowed in the blood channel.No blood clot that led to the obstruction was formed.The contents of pump record were confirmed.However, it was not possible to read the cause of the increase in pressure drop.Review of the manufacturing record and the shipping inspection record of the actual sample confirmed that there was not any anomaly in them.A search of the complaint file found no other similar report of the product with the involved product code/lot number combination.Based on the investigation result, no anomaly was found in the actual sample after rinsing.As a cause of occurrence, it was likely that blood-derived obstruction occurred for some reason.However, since no anomaly was found in the performance test of actual sample, it was not possible to clarify the cause of this complaint from the investigation result.Relevant ifu reference: "do not reduce heparin during circulation.Otherwise, blood clotting might occur.(warnings)" "adequate heparinization of the blood is required to prevent it from clotting in the system.(warnings)".
