It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the battery icon of the unit was red and not fully charged.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There was no delay, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.Per clinical review: during set up for the cpb procedure on (b)(6) 2018, the team noticed that the system had a red icon on the battery, and the system was not fully charged.They opted to commence cpb, for they were not concerned about not having full battery back up if they were to lose alternating current (ac) power.The perfusionist stated that all systems were working well, and they felt comfortable that the system would fully charge during the procedure.There was no blood loss, harm or delay in continuation of the procedure due to the heart-lung machine (hlm) not being fully charged when the team commenced cpb.
