The product was not available to return; therefore a manufacturer laboratory investigation was not possible.The incident report says that 3 oxygenators were exchanged for the same patient.One of the exchanged oxygenators was returned under record id (b)(4) and was investigated as follows.The product was tested for its o2, co2 transfer rate and pressure drop behavior at maximum flow and passed all test steps successfully.No abnormalities were detected.Based on this the reported failure "pao2 drops" could not be confirmed.The cause of this failure was determined to not be attributed to a device related malfunction.The most probable cause of the incident is unknown.Based on the above mentioned investigation results of a device with contributing design function the failure reported within this incident report could not be confirmed.Since the reported failure did not contribute to a death or serious injury no corrective action is needed.In addition at this time it cannot be concluded that this is a systemic error.No corrective action is needed.The data is also being handled through a designated maquet cardiopulmonary trending and applicable investigation process.Due to this no further investigation initiations will be completed at this time.
