(swelling of thigh).One sampled device was returned.The pump was returned empty.A baxa repeater pump was used to refill the pump with 400ml of 0.9% saline.The pinch clamp was opened and the pump infused at all selectable flow rates.Flow accuracy testing was performed with the saf set to 8ml/hr.After 37.50 hours of testing, the pump yielded a flow rate of 7.88ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.The pressure pot was performed on the selected-a-flow unit flow rates 2ml/hr, 4ml/hr, 8ml/hr and 14ml/hr without the filter.The saf unit was detached from the pump.The saf unit was connected to a pressure gauge.The average bladder pressure used was 8.6psi.The saf flow rate 2ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 2.10ml/hr, which is within specifications with a +/-20% tolerance.Flow rate 4ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 4.27ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.Flow rate 8ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 7.66ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.Flow rate 14ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 12.77ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.Bolus button testing was performed with the pressure set to 8.6psi.The bolus was detached from the pump and the tubing was bonded back together with a male and female luer using cyclohexanone.The bolus unit was attached to the pressure gauge.The bolus button safety test results yielded an average delivery amount of 1.81g; the average is within specifications.The bolus volume test results yielded an average delivery amount of 4.28g, all results are within specifications.The investigation summary concluded that a fast flow was not observed.During the flow accuracy test, the pump met specifications.During pressure pot testing, all flow rates met specifications using the average bladder pressure.During the bolus and safety test the pca met specifications.All information reasonably known as of 13-jun-2017 has been included in this health authority report.Should additional information be obtained, a follow-up health authority report will be provided.The information provided by halyard health represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to halyard health.Halyard health has no independent knowledge of the event reported but is relaying the information that was provided by the user facility where the incident occurred.This product incident is documented in the halyard health complaint database and identified as complaint (b)(4).
