It was reported that a while back, a patient was on support having a brief pump stop where the speed and flow both went to 0 simultaneously for a couple of seconds and then returned to baseline without intervention.Once it occurred twice on the patient, the motor, console, and flow probe were exchanged and sent for evaluation (which came back good).The same thing happened again this past weekend.The patient's speed and flow went to 0 for reportedly 6 seconds and then back to baseline.The nurse reported that the pump running sound disappeared as if it truly stopped during that time.It was noted that the patient had a pump exchange while on support on (b)(6) 2023 with oxygenator removal and that the nurses noticed that this pump was more ¿loose¿ than previous pumps.The patient was still on the same pump, but equipment had been changed when this happened previously.Related manufacturer reference number: mrn # 3003306248-2024-00001, 2916596-2024-00137.
