Event Description
|
Per clinical review: the perfusion team had an incident with their flow module on an heart lung machine (hlm) during a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure on (b)(6) 2018.During set up the team lost the flow readings for the blood flow generated from the centrifugal pump, they reattached the flow module to the network interface card (nic) board and proceeded without issue.The team then had one additional occurrence of loss of flow reading during the bypass procedure, and the team again just adjusted the plug to the nic board and the issue was mitigated for the remaining portion of the procedure.The intermittent loss in flow reading did not delay the surgical procedure.There was no blood loss or harm associated with the occurrence.
