This report is being filed to provide additional information in b.5, h6 and h.10.Investigation: the run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Review of rdf shows there were 3 'interface took too long to establish' alarms.At 10 min, 20 min and 142 min.The interface took too long to establish alarm can occur for several reasons.In this case, it is possible that leaving the inlet saline roller clamp open or partially open may explain this alarm.If more saline was used than the machine stated it is likely the inlet saline clamp was open or partially open, leading to more saline being used than expected.It may be possible that the inlet saline roller clamp was opened or partially open and therefore diluted what was entering the machine leading to the interface alarms that occurred.The procedure was able to establish an interface and seemed to operate normally.The images during the procedure also appeared normal.Follow on screen instructions for dealing with interface alarms.Machine operated as expected and is safe to use.A disposable lot history search could not be conducted since the customer failed to provide a disposable lot number.Dhr could not be assessed as the customer was unable to provide the lot number.All lots must meet acceptance criteria for release.According to therapeutic apheresis: a physician's handbook, adverse events occur during therapeutic procedures with a frequency of 4.8%.Some of the most common reactions include fever, urticaria, hypocalcemic symptoms, pruritus, dyspnea, tachycardia, and mild hypotension.Investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.
