Manufacturer Narrative

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.There were no signals or alarms in the rdf that would indicate issues during the run, specifically the amount of ac delivered.The commanded ac pump speed and the measured ac pump speed were accurate and did not show any discrepancy in pump volume.Based on literature reference, therapeutic apheresis: a physician's handbook, allergic reactions are usually associated with replacement procedures that include blood components but sensitivity to disposable tubing sterilized with ethylene oxide can also be associated with allergic reactions.According to therapeutic apheresis: a physician's handbook, adverse events occur during therapeutic procedures with a frequency of 4.8%.Symptoms of these allergic reactions may include hives, dyspnea, wheezing, burning eyes, tachycardia, hypotension, and or facial swelling and flushing.Mild reactions can be treated with diphenhydramine administered through an iv.A disposable complaint history search was performed for this lot and found a total of 4 occurrences were reported across 2 complaint records from the same customer for similar issues worldwide.See mdr 1722028-2022-00274, mdr 1722028-2022-00275, mdr 1722028-2022-000277, mdr 1722028-2022-00279.Root cause: a root cause assessment was performed for this complaint.Based on customer's statements about the allergic reactions and the literature review, possible causes for the patient reactions include but are not limited to an allergy to replacement solution and/or patient sensitivity to eto.
