It was reported that there were three episodes of hypoxia during the operation.Twice the oxygen saturation of the superior vena cava went from 80+ to 30+ and 50.No harm or death was reported.The product was not available for investigation, it was discarded by customer.Therefore laboratory investigation could not be performed.The serial number of oxygenator is not available.Therefore dhr review of oxygenator could not be reveiwed.Since affected part is not available, the exact cause could not be determined.However the reported failure could be linked to the risk assessment and control quadrox-i small adult/adult, quadrox-id adult (dms#1464420, v17) and the most probable cause could be: - oxygen concentration lower than 80%.- blockage of blood flow (clotting - anticoagulation measures - obstruction of filter).- lack of information on pressure drop /pressure increase.- lack of information on device handling (leakage of gas).The occurrence rate was calculated for the reported failure and product and it was determined that this is not a systemic issue.Therefore, no remedial action is required.Since there are similar complaints reported, based on this the failure could be confirmed.The occurrence rate related to the reported issue is currently being monitored as part of maquet cardiopulmonary¿s trending program and additional investigations or corrections will be implemented in case of adverse trending.H3 other text : discarded by user.
