Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Per terumo bct's internal documentation, the devices terumo bct manufactures to collect, separate, and store blood products are terminally sterilized to a sterility assurance level (sal) of=10-6.Additionally, a sterility assurance system has been designed and employed to ensure this sal will be achieved for every lot of product manufactured.The sterility assurance system employed at terumo bct ensures the disposable device is not the source of contamination.Root cause: no system-related root cause for the alleged bacterial contamination was identified in the run data files for the procedure.There were no leak alarms or centrifuge stops during these procedures to suggest the disposable set became an open set at any point in the procedure.Review of the images shows no abnormal behavior or foreign matter in the connector and signals in the dlog indicate the sets were loaded and primed within the one-working shift recommendation provided in the spectra optia essentials guide.Consequently, the system was found to be operating as intended during these procedures.Additionally, the sterility assurance system employed at terumo bct ensures the device is not the source of contamination.Sources of bacterial contamination unrelated to the spectra optia system may include, but are not limited to:- patient/donor connection to the disposable set- post-processing laboratory practices.
