It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the central control monitor (ccm) seemed to have froze.Error message "no system computer" was displayed on all the roller pumps.The ccm could not be used by touch panel.The device was not changed out, as the clinical engineer used the manometer and analog flowmeter for this case.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There were no delays, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the pt.The clinical engineer rebooted the system after the case.After the system was rebooted, the reported issue was canceled.Per clinical review on 12/03/2014: since this occurred during cpb, a perfusion screen would have been selected and active and safety sensors (air bubble detector, level, and pressure) would have been enabled.The subsidiary report states that all pumps continued to function and would have been able to be controlled and monitored with the local displays.As reported, the clinician used pressure manometers and analog gas flow meters to monitor real time gas flows and cpb circuit pressures.In spite of ccm issue, safety systems would continue to function and alert the user of clinical issues.Nothing was changed out or re-booted during cpb.The case was completed successfully, without delay and without associated blood loss.There was no harm observed.
