Event Description
|
Medtronic received information that during use of this centrifugal pump it experienced a loss in flow after 5-7 days.The icu nurse heard a loud grinding noise, and the flow dropped from 4 lpm to less than 0.5 lpm.The nurse began handcranking, and was able to resume flow.The perfusionist came and switched to a back-up driver and was able to resume flow, but the same grinding noise continued.At that point, the ap40 was replaced with a backup.Use of the instrument was continued with no adverse patient effect.The patient was taken off of extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) the following day, after 6-8 days on ecmo.The perfusionist saw a white ring on the inside of the disposable, where they believe the motor was rubbing against the inside cone.
