Event Description

Additional information was received on 19 sep 2022: it was confirmed that the oxygenator was not used for the cec; however, there was blood inside due to recirculating with the cannulated patient.When the issue was noticed, there was no time to stop the surgeon from aspirating blood from the operating field with the aspirator connected to the cardiotome.The blood was not infected and was heparinized.The device was replaced after the blood was circulating, including the aspirated blood, therefore this case was a serious injury.The event occurred intra-operative.There was no patient injury/medical or surgical intervention required.
