This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on september 8, 2020.Upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: d4 (additional device information added exp date).G4 (date received by manufacturer).G7 (indication that this is a follow-up report).H2 (follow-up due to additional information and device evaluation).H3 (device evaluated by manufacturer).H4 (device manufacture date).H6 (identification of evaluation codes 10, 11, 3331, 170, 23).Method code #1: 10 testing of actual/suspected device.Method code #2: 11 testing of device from same lot/batch retained by manufacturer.Method code #3: 3331 analysis of production records.Results code: 170 manufacturing process problem identified.Conclusions code: 23 manufacturing deficiency.The affected sample was inspected upon receipt with no visual anomalies noted.The unit was setup in a saline circuit with a sarn drive system and the pump exhibited no unusual noises.However, when setup on the sorin drive with a terumo cp adapter, an audible noise was observed.A representative retention sample was tested as well with no visual or sound anomalies.Based on this investigation, it is believed that the root cause of this failure mode is a combination of a poor technique in using the arbor press for applying the bearing to the rotor and the dimension of the bearing pocket in the magnet housing.A capa has been initiated to document and address the investigation and any potential changes required to remedy the failure mode observed.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
