Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: the run data file was analyzed for this event.Per the run data file, the operator entered the patient weight as (b)(6), then changed the units to lbs so the weight would be (b)(6).The system automatically converted the weight to be (b)(6).After the operator confirmed the patient data, the system generated the 'patient weight was invalid' alarm.The only option after this alarm is to end the procedure and unload the collection set.The operator ended the procedure before the patient was ever connected.Further evaluation of this event has determined that the device did not cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, nor is there a likely potential for death or serious injury associated with this event.It was confirmed by terumo bct's service representative that no patient was connected at the time of the event and the device alarmed as designed during the data entry.An internal report shows that the machine has been in use with no further occurrences of the problem.Root cause: the root cause of the data entry error was user interface.The device failed safe with an alarm as designed.
