Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that during use of the bio-console instrument, external motor drives and centrifugal pump, the customer had an issue with a loud noise from the centrifugal pump.The customer re-seated the pump but the noise persisted.For peace of mind, the customer switched out the external drive motor (turned off power).After switching out the external drive motor, 30 seconds later there was a pop and then the bio-console instrument started smoking.The customer switched out the bio-console instrument and removed it.The customer stated that the first noise was just a 'little louder than usual' and the nurse picked up on the noise.When they customer changed to the new external drive motor, there was a louder 'screeching' noise, then a 'pop' then smoke billowing out of the sides of the bio-console instrument.The emergency hand crank was needed to maintain patient blood flow for approximately 5 minutes during the procedure.There were no adverse patient effects as a result of this issue.
