Manufacturer Narrative

In an effort to enhance the clinician experience and reduce waste, atrium medical corporation introduced enhancements to the atrium chest drain family that simplify packaging and routine set-up of atrium chest drains.These enhancements factored-in clinician workflow exhibit multiple benefits, such as reducing costs associated with medical waste in the hospital as well as reducing manufacturing carbon footprint.As part of this initiative the wall thickness of the patient tube set was modified from.094+/-.012 inches for the 3/8 inch tubing and.094 +/- 0.16 inches on the 1/4 in tubing to a minimum specification of.088 +/-.006 inches.The dimensional changes were still within the original product requirements.To ensure the product was still performing properly a planned engineering study was conducted using 59 samples from inventory that were sterilized 3x times.This study was created to ensure the threshold for airflow going through the tube set did not drop below the required 7.5slpm after applying a 150gram weight to the tube set.The result was that the lowest value recorded was 24.85slpm.This is much higher than the threshold value.Although the kink in the tubing is undesirable the flow is very much still within the 7.5 slpm requirements.Clinical evaluation: the oasis chest drainage system is indicated for the evacuation of air and/or fluid from the chest cavity or mediastinum and to help re-establish lung expansion and restore breathing dynamics.It also facilitates postoperative collection and reinfusion of autologous blood from the patient's pleural cavity or mediastinal area.It is imperative that chest drainage systems and patient status be methodically assessed at frequent and regular intervals.Inspections should include kinking of the tubing, dependent loops, closed clamps, color and character of the drainage, the rate of drainage, the water seal, bubbling (continuous or intermittent) and the negative pressure indicator.Other text : device not returned.
