A report was received, stating that during the first dose of cardioplegia, the mps console stopped during the induction.The user was able to restore antegrade flow, but the quantities calculated by the console jumped from 600ml to 1200ml with little dosing being performed.After the initial dose, the user did some troubleshooting, but the same error message was displayed, which is when she notified the surgeon she was going to change out the console.As a result, one dose of cardioplegia was not given to the patient (after the distal anastomoses of the vein).This console will be returned to quest medical for investigation/repair.

The device was evaluated and the reported complaint condition could not be duplicated.The console was disassembled to check for damage, defects, or fluid intrusion and none was found.The console was reassembled and tested, and successfully passed all operational verification testing.
