It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the belt broke on the arterial roller pump.There was a short delay (about three minutes) when they change the roller continue the surgery.As a result, an alternate device was employed.The surgical procedure was completed successfully, and there were no blood loss or no adverse consequences to the patient.Per clinical review on (b)(6) 2014: on (b)(6) 2014 at (b)(6) hospital in (b)(6), there was an issue with a sarns 8000 roller pump.In the first few minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass, prior to aortic cross-clamping and prior to cardioplegic arrest when the patient was still warm (normothermic), the roller pump (arterial) stopped without warning (no alerts or alarms).The roller assembly was not able to be re-started and the ccp began to hand crank the roller pump.Another roller pump (spare) was in the operating room and was used to back-up support.The ccp removed the tubing from the arterial pump and removed the original pump from the 8000 base.The spare pump was placed and connected in the same location on the base and the arterial tubing was placed in the roller pump.The roller occlusion was checked and cardiopulmonary bypass was re-started.Since the spare pump was in the operating room and readily available, the loss of arterial flow could reasonably be predicted to be about ninety seconds.The remainder of the procedure was without issue.The procedure was completed successfully, without associated blood loss.The delay could be estimated to be about three minutes and this allows for hand cranking, troubleshooting and pump change out.There was no harm of the patient observed or reported.According to the biomed at the hospital, a broken pump belt is suspected.
