Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being submitted as follow up no.1 to provide the returned sample evaluation results.The actual device has been received by the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection of the actual device revealed no anomalies or defects.The actual device was subjected to another visual inspection after rinsed.The venous and cardiotomy filters were confirmed to be in the normal state.The pressure drops were then determined at the cardiotomy and venous filters by circulating bovine blood in the actual sample.The results did not show any anomaly which could be a trigger of the formation of clots and the determined values met manufacturer specifications.Bovine blood was then circulated in the actual sample for six hours and revealed no clot formation.The actual sample was rinsed and the venous filter was removed for further inspection.Visual and electron microscopic inspections of the venous filter revealed no anomalies or defects.The defoamer set inside the venous filter was then taken out of the filter for visual and electron microscopic inspections and revealed no defects.Visual and electron microscopic inspections of the cardiotomy filter revealed no defects.The defoamer set inside the cardiotomy filter was then taken out of the filter for visual and electron microscopic inspections and revealed no defects.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The investigation results verified that the actual sample was the normal product.An exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined.The device labeling does address the potential for such an occurrence in the instruction for use (ifu) with the statement such as the following: "adequate heparinization of the blood is required to prevent it from clotting in the system.Do not reduce heparin during circulation.Otherwise, blood clotting might occur." all available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
