It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure, the blood parameter monitor (bpm) saturated venous oxygen (svo2) were low on the blood parameter monitor (bpm).An in-vivo calibration was performed and took about 15 minutes to come up to correct values.The device was not changed out, the customer continued using the monitor and was checking other patient indicators.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There was no delay, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.Per the clinical review on 02/17/2015: this issue was observed by the ccp, after the 1.69 software upgrade had been performed on the bpm units.Tech support spoke to the ccp after his observations.A bpm that had received the 1.69 upgrade was swapped into use during the procedure as the originally used unit (in this procedure) was having the new software (1.69) installed.The new unit did pass the color chip test (at start-up) but the ccp noticed that the svo2 measure was low (as compared to the lab analyzer) and it took 15 minutes to come back to expected and measured lab vales.The ccp also noticed issues with gas calibration (call service message) and when the potassium (k+) code was asked to be entered, the ccp claims the numeric could be entered, but not the following letter.After later discussion, it was found there may have been an issue with the calibrator as a "cf08" error code was posted.These observations occurred after the 1.69 software upgrade.Though, the svo2 was slow to agree with the lab analyzed value, the unit was used to complete the procedure and additional lab analysed values were performed to help manage the patient.The case was completed successfully, without delay and there was no associated blood loss.There was no harm observed.
