Manufacturer Narrative
|
In the laboratory investigation, some clotting could be visually identified on the arterial side.However, the oxygenator's performance was tested in the qa-laboratory and was found to be within the specified range.The cause of the clotting as reported by the customer does not appear to be related to the product, so most probably is attributed to clinical factors, such as the anti-coagulation measures deployed.A definitive root cause for the customer's issue cannot therefore be ascertained.Investigation of this complaint and trending for this issue does not indicate a systemic issue.As a product malfunction is not indicated based on the investigation results, no further investigation or action is warranted at this time and the complaint will be closed.
