Event Description

After initiating support on a trauma patient, while using zero anticoagulation and after nine days of use, no longer able to keep the fio2 in the 32-34 range.The best fio2 that was achievable was in the 35-36 range.Slightly lower values were desired to keep the icp low.The oxygenator was exchanged and the issue resolved.The patient was without support for two minutes while the device was changed out.A co2 transfer equation and o2 transfer equation were performed and found that the device was operating within normal parameters.The max gas flow prior to change out was 10 lpm per hospital protocol.Propofol and versed were both administered during the 9 day period.(b)(4).

(b)(6) 2016 11:06 am (gmt-5:00) added by (b)(6) ((b)(4)): maquet (b)(4) received the product back for investigation.During visual inspection it was noted that a piece of the outer cover of the oxygenator had broken off.This was not described in the original report.For further investigation the device history record was reviewed.No production parameters could be identified that would indicate a nonconformance during production, in regards to the reported failure.Based on these results and the information available at this time non device related factors may have contributed to the reported event.Therefore the manufacturer will not be able to confirm the failure.The data is also being handled through a designated maquet (b)(4) trending and applicable investigation process.If a trend occurs, it will be escalated to quality assurance management for review and determination if further investigation is necessary.Due to this no further investigation initiations will be completed at this time.
