Centrifugal pump failure prior to cpb.A statement by (b)(6), who was pumping the case: "on (b)(6) 2024 i was at (b)(6) starting a cabg with dr.(b)(6).Before the case started, i went through my checklist with no issues.Once the lines were connected to the patient, i started rapping my lines around 0930.I noticed the pressure dropping towards the end of my rap and went to transfuse the patient volume when suddenly, the pump head stopped working.I immediately told the surgeon the issue and clamped my lines to troubleshoot the issue.The nurse called (b)(6) around that time and notified him about the issue.The cp5 console had a red banner and the alarm cent pump 1 with rpms still on at around 1500.I noticed that it was not actually flowing.I started by turning off the cp5 console and back on, still alarmed.I also turned my rpms to 0, disconnected the pump head and reconnected it, still alarmed.About ten minutes later with no further intervention, the alarm just suddenly disappeared, and the pump was working again.We still decided it was best to change out the pump and pump head from the disposable, which (b)(6) and i did at around 0950.Once changed out, we tested the new pump and recirculated the blood for a few minutes as well as flashed the lines connected to the patient.We agreed the pump was ready to be used and went on cpb at 1029.No further issues had happened since then." the serial number for the liva nova cp5 control unit (ref 60-02-60) is (b)(6).The sn for the motor (ref 60-01-04) is (b)(6).The pump base is 48-30-00 sn:(b)(6).The terumo centrifugal head is (b)(6).No harm occurred to the patient and 50ml of blood was lost.Biomed notified, liva nova notified, and terumo notified.
