Manufacturer Narrative

Per the field service representative (fsr), the perfusionist was uncertain of the cause of the issue at the time of the event, but wanted to have the centrifugal system checked to ensure all possible factors were accounted for.The fsr tested the centrifugal system and the pump passed all release testing.A review of the log data also showed no issues with the centrifugal pump.The unit operated to the manufacturer's specifications.Per data log review: based on the pump log there were no issues seen with the centrifugal pump.It was configured to stop for air bubble detection and low level alarm; coast for low level alert and pressure; and message only for pressure alert and back flow.There were no events seen that would cause the pump to trigger, only normal user starting and stopping the pump.The system log showed the pump revolutions per minute (rpm) went below coast, by the user.There were no alarms or alerts.The pump was stopped and started several times around 11:20 am; the pump rpm was below 1500rpm which is the coast mode and may not be enough rpm depending on the circuit.
