It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the blood parameter monitor (bpm) displayed an error message and the venous saturation probe would no longer read the parameters.As a result, an alternative device was employed.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There was no delay, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.Per clinical review: on (b)(6) 2020 during a cpb procedure, the perfusion team had a bpm that gave an error code and disabled the venous saturation parameters.The team powered on and set up the bpm without issue for a procedure.Cpb was initiated and shortly afterwards the bpm gave the perfusionist an error code that they cannot recall.The bpm disabled the venous saturation numbers.The team opted to exchange the unit during the procedure.There was no delay in the continuation of the surgical procedure.There was no harm or blood loss associated with the event.
