Manufacturer Narrative
|
The product was visually inspected in the laboratory of the manufacturer.On the blood inlet side clots were visible.During rinsing of the product no clots were flushed out.The product was tested for its gas exchange performance (02 and co2 transfer rate) in the laboratory of the manufacturer.The gas exchange performance test meets the specification.The pressure drop test could not be performed as the arterial pressure sensor was providing no value to the cardiohelp unit, therefore it was not possible to observe the pressure drop behavior.For the observed arterial pressure measurement error an additional complaint will be opened in order to track and trend this observation.The customer was complaining about not adequate o2.The reported failure was not reproducible during the performance test; therefore the reported failure cannot be confirmed.A dhr review was performed; no references were found, which are indicating a nonconformance of the product in question.The most probable cause of the reported incident is unknown.Since the reported failure did not contribute to a death or serious injury and no systemic issue could be determined no corrective action is needed at this time.
