Event Description
|
The hospital reported that during the beginning of an endoscopic vein harvesting procedure, t.W.Power supply s/n (b)(4) was being used on an endo radial harvest when it started to intermittently cut out followed by stopping working completely.This occurred during the beginning of the case in which the harvester taking vein had to stop what he was doing so the radial artery could use his power unit (since the radial had its tourniquet up).This delayed the harvest of the vein but both were retrieved successfully.Biomed checked the unit subsequently and found that it was completely dead.They found that the device is past its 1 year warranty period so they plan to purchase a replacement.No patient harm.
