Manufacturer Narrative

Per the manufacturer's field service representative (fsr), the non-clinical activity was the user facility using a trainer circuit to test a newly installed heart lung machine (hlm).The user facility noticed that the reservoir was draining, and that the abd alarm was not going off as large bubbles were passing through until there was a large amount of air.The abd and the abd module were swapped out one at a time with another and the issue was still present with the different combinations.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) connected the abd sensor to lab use only (luo) testing equipment.Miscellaneous sized air bubbles were injected into the water loop.0.5 cubic centimeters (cc) of air was injected into the water loop, which should have caused the abd to alarm per specification, but the abd would not alarm.It was not until 0.7cc of air was injected that the abd alarmed.It was determined that the abd sensor did not operate to specification.

Manufacturer Narrative

Per the supplier evaluation, the sensor was installed into the test fixture and passed without adjustment.The sensor was tested by adjusting the bubble size to determine the detection threshold.The design specification is to be able to detect bubbles at a threshold of at least 500 microliters.The sensor showed some inconsistency while detecting around 300 microliters, but consistently detected at 310 microliters and above.The sensor performed as intended and met required design specification.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
