The user facility reported that the blue thermistor probe cable was attached to the thermistor probe at the venous blood port of the reservoir in the usual manner, however the venous blood-side temperature was not displayed on ccm of aps1.(the temperature at the outlet of oxygenator was read with red one).As there was a possibility that the blue temperature probe cable was malfunctioning, the red one was connected to the venous blood side, however no change was observed.The temperature on the venous blood side was not read while the pump was on.The surgery was completed successfully.After the pump was turned off, when another thermistor probe (a single item) was attached to the venous blood port of the reservoir, and the temperature was displayed on the ccm.There was no patient injury/medical or surgical intervention required.The procedure was completed successfully.There was no harm to the patient.
