Manufacturer's investigation conclusion: the reported event of the centrimag motor¿s pump platform being damaged was confirmed, as the returned centrimag motor (serial number (b)(6) was observed to have several small indentations on its black pump platform upon arrival.The motor was received and functionally tested at the service depot and was found to perform as intended despite the observed damage.Due to the observed damage being unrepairable, the motor was scrapped.The root cause of the reported event was unable to be conclusively determined through this analysis.Review of the device history record for the centrimag motor, serial number (b)(6), showed the device was manufactured in accordance with manufacturing and quality assurance specifications.The 2nd generation centrimag system operating manual (rev.11) section 3 "about the 2nd generation centrimag primary console" warns "one additional 2nd generation centrimag primary console, motor and flow probe are required as backup system in the immediate vicinity of each patient whenever the centrimag or pedivas blood pump is used.The backup console must be connected to the backup motor and to the backup flow probe, have a battery charge sufficient for at least one hour of operation, be connected to ac power (except during transport) and be immediately available should the main console, motor or flow probe experience a malfunction." centrimag motor instructions for use (rev.6) instructs the user to inspect the centrimag motor, cable, console connector, and locking mechanism for any damage prior to use.If any component is damaged, do not use the centrimag motor.This document states that if the unit fails to operate according to the motor specifications or a console diagnostic error indicates a centrimag motor malfunction, it should be returned.Additionally, this document instructs the user to always have a spare centrimag motor and back-up equipment available.No further information was provided.The manufacturer is closing the file on this event.
