On (b)(6) 2019, haemonetics was made aware of a cell saver elite device in which a field service engineer observed a damaged user interface pcb with a burning smell noted.The field service engineer evaluated the device and did not find any other damaged components, and has ordered a replacement component to be sent for resolution.The haemonetics has installed a replacement ui pcb and ensured that the device is calibrated and meets all specifications prior to being returned to service.There was no donor involved in the procedure when this failure was detected.This failure had occurred during the power on self test (post) protocol.The device must pass the post protocol prior to being able to initiate a device and introduce a donor to complete a procedure.The device will detect any hardware failures and will not pass the post until the device has been repaired, preventing risk of injury to the donor as a result of a hardware failure.There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident; however, haemonetics has previously submitted reports of thermal decomposition observed within a device.As a result, this incident is deemed reportable.

On (b)(6) 2019, haemonetics was made aware of a cell saver elite machine which had failed when powered on.When the device was evaluated by a field service engineer, a burnt electronic smell was observed and burn marks were found on a component on the user interface pcb.There were no injuries reported as a result of the component failure.No donor or patient involvement with the machine at the time of failure.The failed ui pcb prevented the device from initiating and completing the power on self test (post) protocol.
