Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information in e.1, h.6 and h.10.Corrected information is provided in e.3.Investigation: the procedure was discontinued and the patient was admitted to the hospital for observation and testing.Post transfusion dat & hemolysis, cbc, cmp, post fractionation, ua, covid test.The test results were negative.The negative dat rule out incompatible donor replacement rbcs as a root cause for the hemolysis.The metabolic, fractionation and urine analysis all ruled out hemolysis as a patient¿s pre-existing condition.They did not perform a direct plasma free hemoglobin test on the second rbc replacement fluid so that it is possible that they were using a unit of hemolyzed blood.Root cause: a definitive root cause for the discolored plasma could not be determined.Possible causes include but are not limited to: the second unit of rbc replacement unit contained hemolyzed blood - a misload of the disposable set - occlusion in the disposable set tubing - partial flash, bad seam weld, and/or assembly error on the channel connector.
