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.Per the customer, the collection was completed and the bag was spiked by the patient¿s bed.The nurse didn¿t find any resistance while inserting the spike into the product bag.During transfer of the product, the spike became disconnected and leaked.Some blood dripped onto the nurse,doctor, and patient.The customer confirmed that the blood did not contact any areas of non-intact skin or mucous membrane.Root cause: although a definitive root cause could not be determined, there were no defects found with the bag.Based on the customer¿s description, it is likely that either the spike was not completely inserted or there was a defect with the spike, which was not a terumo bct product.
