S: malfunction of tablo - breakage/bleeding within cartridge during blood return.B: patient on tablo with multiple repetitive alarms, machine would not continue.Attempted to have machine return blood, but machine would not, more alarms.Just prior to 7 minutes we attempted to hand cranked blood back to patient, blood leakage noted in cartridge/machine during hand cranking.A: it was brought to my attention after the fact that we did not turn the locks prior to hand cranking blood back to patient.Time was running out for blood return, so it was done quickly without consulting the manual.Unknown if this may have contributed to breakage of the cartridge.R: re-educate on process of blood return, and/or assess tablo machine/cartridge for functionality.Time was short, stress levels high, the machine clearly not functioning.I was the charge rn admitting my second covid patient and did not think to consult the manual when called into this room to assist with a malfunctioning tablo machine.No tablo reps or assistants were in house, the clock was ticking on the 7 minute to return blood to our patient who was maxed on epi, levo, vaso.
