A dhr review was performed, there were no references found, which are indicating a nonconformance of the product in question.The product was investigated in the laboratory of the manufacturer.During visual inspection and during rinsing no clots were detected.At the luer lock connector of the blood outlet connector and at the blood outlet connector itself small cracks were detected.Additional complaints will be opened in order to track and trend this observation.The cracks were sealed for further testing purposes.The product was tested for its o2-transfer rate, co2-transfer rate and for pressure drop at maximum flow.The gas exchange performance test and the pressure drop test meets the specification.Thus the reported failure could not be confirmed.The cause of this failure was determined to not be attributed to a device related malfunction.Based on these results and the information available at this time, the oxygenator in question operated within mcp specifications.Since the reported failure did not contribute to a death or serious injury and no systemic issue could be determined no corrective action is needed at this time.
