Event Description
|
The customer reported that the operator found the blue clamp on the return saline line was assembled on return line.The operator decided used the set despite the issue due to there was only one set at the site.The machine alarmed return pressure high during the run, and blood was found entering into return saline line.The operator used hemostatic forceps to clamp the return saline line, then the procedure could run normally.Patient information and outcome are not available at this time.The disposable set was not returned because it was discarded by the customer.This product is not available within the us, but this report is being filed due to an alleged failure that could occur on a similarly marketed device platform cleared for use by the fda.

This report is being filed to provide additional information in a.3, a.3, b.5 b.6, h.6 and h.10.Investigation : the run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.The system operated as intended by flagging during the pressure test with the ¿return saline line failed integrity test¿ alarm, which was generated due to the misassembled roller clamp.According to the rdf, the final configured fb was 110% and the patient's tbv was 5055ml.The unintended saline bolus was unknown (the customer declined to provide saline bag size or volume administered).A review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Investigation is in process.A follow up report will be provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information in h.6 and h.10.Root cause: the root cause for an unintended saline bolus to the patient was due to the disposable set being manufactured without the return roller clamp on the return saline line.If this line is not clamped, saline can gravity drain freely through the return line to the patient, which can lead to a risk of hypervolemia.A definitive root cause for the roller clamp being installed on an incorrect line relates to a manufacturing mis-assembly where the assembler neglected to follow the appropriate manufacturing operating procedure of the disposable set during manufacturing.

Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: the customer provided photographic evidence of the reported defect.The images confirmed the blue return saline roller clamp was located on the return line as opposed to the return saline line tubing.The images also indicated the presence of blood in the return line.The procedural cautions section of the spectra optia apheresis system essentials guide pg 11, states that if the roller clamp on the saline line is left completely open when the patient is connected, the patient will be quickly infused with a large volume of saline.Investigation is in process.A follow up report will be provided.
