Event Description
|
It was reported that during use on a patient, the "teleflex filter had occluded at the sample port due to a thin plastic disc (presumably left over from the manufacturing process) which has then blocked gas from entering the sample line, therefore did not display c02/sevo etc.Values/waveforms on the anesthetic machine".No patient harm, desaturation, or injury."the ventilation was not affected as it was the co2 sampling port that was blocked, not the main ventilating body.The issue was resolved by changing the filter.The initial filter was then inspected and the co2 port was found to blocked by what appeared to be plastic from the manufacturing process.".

(b)(4).Complaint verification testing could not be performed as no sample was returned for analysis.The manufacturing site reports "checking the history of this reported defect, occluded co2 port, there is similar complaint reported for similar product code which is 11012t.The mentioned product housing was supplied by our supplier, and hence supplier corrective action request (scar) has been issued, root cause analysis and identified corrective actions shall be implemented through this scar".Without the actual device to evaluate the complaint could not be confirmed and the probable cause could not be determined from the available information.Teleflex will continue to monitor and trend for reports of this nature.If the sample becomes available at a later date a follow up report will be submitted with investigation results.
