Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being filed to provide additional information in h.6 and h.10.Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.The run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Run data file analysis was performed and there were no signs of hemolysis during the procedure.The aim system was disabled 3 minutes into the procedure, and the rbc detector showed no signs of hemolysis.The available aim system images also did not show any hemolysis.The procedure only ran for 8 minutes before it was terminated.The patient was stable.A disposable complaint history search was performed for this lot and found no other report for similar issues on this lot.Root cause: a root cause assessment was performed for this complaint.Based on the available information a definitive root cause for hemolysis could not be determined but it is likely due to one or a combination of the possible causes listed below: * patient's underlying disease state * patient's medication and/or medical treatment * hemolysis due to inlet needle replaced with smaller diameter or incompletely broken septum resulting in rbcs exposed to pressure drop in the inlet line.* hemolysis due to inlet needle replaced with smaller diameter or incompletely broken septum resulting in rbcs exposed to pressure drop in the inlet line.* hemolysis due to pinched return line resulting in rbc¿s exposed to pressure drop in return line.* hemolysis due to pinched inlet line resulting in rbcs exposed to pressure drop in inlet line.The residual total risk is determined to be low.* hemolysis due to an occlusion in the tubing resulting in rbcs exposed to a pressure drop.A root cause assessment was performed for this complaint.Based on the available information a definitive root cause for issue with the interface could not be determined but it is likely due to one or a combination of the possible causes listed below: * inaccurate entry of the patient's hematocrit.* channel was not properly loaded into the filler.
