Event Description
|
It was reported that the chest tube drainage system may have a discrepancy in regards to drainage.It was noted that the drainage from the chest tube stops at 180cc and then dumps over into the next chamber, leaving a void of 20cc (between 180-200).This gives an inaccurate account of the amount of drainage as the nurse looking at the system may record an output of 210 or greater when it is actually less because there was not drainage noted in the space/area between 180 and 200.

Analysis: the complaint details indicate that the fluid level once it reaches the 180ml graduation spills over to the next chamber at this point instead of the 200ml fluid level.As the drain in question was not returned atrium medical corporation cannot confirm the complaint.If the drain had been returned the investigation would have been able to fill the chamber to the 200ml graduation to ensure the fluid was not spilling over into the other chambers prior to reaching the 200ml mark.As the lot number of the drain was not provided a review of the device history records could not be performed.Atrium medical corporation only releases product that has passed all quality and performance requirements.Every drain that is produced is 100% pressure tested in manufacturing to ensure there are no leaks.Conclusion: as the chest drain in question was not returned atrium medical corporation cannot confirm that the oasis chest drain was faulty.H3 other text : not returned.
