It was reported that the user suspected there was leakage in the connection of back flow.They suspected the 3-way of be-s 2085 have crack.The fault occurred just after applied on patient.After the customer primed and applied the back flow on patient, they found the patient getting worse.Then they checked the circuit and bubble was found in back flow tubing.The user changed the product to a new one.After they changed another back flow connection, no bubble was found and patient get stable.The patient was finally weaned ecmo and no harms were reported.The product was investigated in the laboratory of manufacturer.The set was arrived without 3 way stopcocks.The visual controls were performed in order to determine any cracks, deformations.No deformations or cracks were found on the hose and luer caps.Test equipments were set and the setup was conducted to determine the leakage occuracy for the tubing.The system was connected to the roller pump in order to apply high pressure on the system.No leakage was observed.The pressure was over 2 bar and new 3 way valves were added on the system and no leakage was observed.Due to the lack of 3 way stopcock component, leakage test of the suspected component could not be tested.Therefore, the root cause of the leakage coming from the stopcock could not be determined.Based on this, the complaint could not be confirmed.The lot number of the affected tubing set was not provided by the customer.Therefore, dhr (production records) review could not be performed.However, the reported failure could be linked to the current risk management file (dms#1906296, v21) and the most probable causes are associated to: manufacturing process; mechanical damage of tube; lack of attention: additional accessories cannot be mounted.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.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.
