Event Description
|
The customer reported that during a continuous mononuclear cell (cmnc) collection on a pediatric patient the color in the collect line was too light.The operator did a blood prime but noticed the saline was left open.This was a 1 liter bag and there was approximately 600 mls left in the bag.The operator reported that about 55 minutes into the run and it was still establishing initial interface.Per the customer, the cp was lowered from 50 to 28 and the color in the collect port was still pink.The alarms that were reported during the run were interface took too long to establish and there was no troubleshooting done.Terumo bct support had the operator lower the original patient hct from 21 down to 18.Support had the customer wait about 5 min.During this time the customer had the alarm again.After 5 min there was no change in the interface and the color.Terumo bct support had the operator lower the patient hct down to 15.Per follow up from the customer they ended the procedure early because the patient spiked a temperature of 100.4.They processed 2.8 liters out of the original order of 3 liters.The patient tbv is 1200 mls.There was no rinse back and the final fb was 112%.Prior to the procedure the patient had radiation therapy with some type of anesthesia.The customer reported that the patient received an unknown antibiotic, blood cultures of rij shiley apheresis catheter & portacath.The blood cultures from the portacath and rij cath were negative.The patient was reported as stable, afreible.The collection set is not available for return because it was discarded by the customer.
