A1: patient identifier: no patient involvement.A2: age or date of birth: no patient involvement.A3a: sex: no patient involvement.A3b: gender: no patient involvement.A4: weight: no patient involvement.A5: ethnicity: no patient involvement.A6: race: no patient involvement.D6a: implanted date: device was not implanted.D6b: explanted date: device was not explanted.E2: health professional: requested, unknown.E3: occupation: requested, unknown.G4: 510(k) no: k071494, k130520.The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.Confirmation of the provided image found that the purge line of oxygenator was fractured from the port.We have past experienced that similar fracture may have been occurred when momentary external force was applied while the product was cold.The local temperature from february 2023 to the date of occurrence (january 2024) was investigated.It was found that the minimum temperature was below zero.The manufacturing record and the shipping inspection record of the actual sample found no anomaly.Past complaint file found no other similar report of the product with the involved product code/lot# was found.Based on the investigation result, no anomaly was found in the manufacturing records of actual product.As a possible cause of occurrence, based on our past experience, it was inferred that after the product was shipped from the factory, during the distribution process in the cold season, momentary force was applied to the product while it was cooled, causing it to fracture.However, since the condition of damage on the actual product could not be confirmed, it was not possible to identify the cause of this case.Relevant instructions for use (ifu) reference: do not use if the package or device is damaged (e.G., cracked) or any of the port caps are off.Terumo medical products (tmp) (importer) registration no.2243441 is submitting this report on behalf of ashitaka factory of terumo corporation (manufacturer) registration no.9681834.

The scientific research institute reported that the involved capiox device oxygenator was broken.The problem was detected when unpacking oxygenators from the outer package.On two samples from the same box, there was a broken purge line port and disconnected purge line at the place of its connection with oxygenator body.This could not be occurred during transportation (no visible signs) or removing oxygenator from the box.The hospital is active user of capiox fx oxygenators and handles them with care, so an intentional damage is excluded.The event occurred pre-treatment.There was no patient involvement.
