It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the blood parameter monitor (bpm) had inaccurate parameters as the delivery of oxygen (do2) was larger than the partial pressure of oxygen (po2).The values were double checked with the blood gas machine.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There was no delay, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.

Per clinical review: the manufacturer's clinical specialist spoke with the subsidiary, regarding the issue the team had with the blood parameter monitor (bpm), during a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure on (b)(6) 2021.The subsidiary reported, that the delivered oxygen (do2) was reading a larger number than the pressure of oxygen (po2).The manufacturer's clinical specialist asked, the subsidiary if they placed the body surface area (bsa) in the bpm, prior to the calibration.The team stated, the bsa was entered before the calibration.It would be needed to know, if the do2 value was indexed to the patient bsa.Additionally, the manufacturer's clinical specialist asked, the subsidiary if they were streaming the flow from the heart lung machine (hlm) to have continuous information on the flow value being entered into the do2 value.The team stated, that the flow was being calculated from the hlm, but did not state, if it was being brought over from the hlm or if it was manually being placed in the bpm.The manufacturer's clinical specialist asked, if the team had calculated the value to see if what was being displayed was what they were calculating by hand, but no information regarding that was received.This issue did not delay the surgical procedure.There was no harm or blood loss, due to the concern.The bpm was not exchanged out.
