Investigation: per the customer, the operator increased the amount of acd-a within acceptable limits for prolonged collection time and the patient did not require a blood prime.The disposable set was returned for investigation.Upon visual inspection of the set the following observations were noted:-the upper and lower bearings had witness marks to suggest correct loading by customer-the lower bearing was disconnected from the centrifuge collar line and the locating ears were sheared off-there was a large laceration through the centrifuge collar line 4.5 cm from the collar and an additional wear mark was observed 2 cm from the collar.-the braid was noted to be twisted.-the 4-lumen tubing was also noted to be severely twisted resulting in a tear and leak from the collect/inlet line 2.5 cm below the centrifuge collar line in the area covered by the braid.The run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Root cause: the part evaluation, specifically the laceration through the centrifuge collar(sleeve), indicates that the lower hex was not fully seated or locked into the hex holder.The ¿leak was detected in centrifuge¿ alarm occurred 41 minutes into the procedure.There were no unusual signals or any additional issues throughout the procedure.The system operated as intended by alerting the operator to a leak in the centrifuge.
