The pump was returned used.The pump was refilled with 0.9% of saline using the repeater pump to the nominal value of 400ml.Infusion was verified and the flow accuracy test was performed after 4 hours of waiting time.After 3 hours of testing, the pump yielded a flow rate of 101.20ml/hr, which is within specifications with a +/-15% tolerance.The pressure pot was performed on the flow control tubing without the filter.The tubing was detached from the pump and connected to a pressure gauge.The average bladder pressure used was 8.17psi.The flow restrictor yielded a flow rate of 89.28ml/hr, which is within specifications with a +/-15% tolerance.The investigation summary concludes that fast flow was not observed for the returned sample.During the flow accuracy test, the pump met specifications.During pressure pot testing, the flow control tubing met specifications using the average bladder pressure.One of assignable cause for the failure was identified as use of the product at 30-35 c, which is which is higher than the recommended temperature, 20c.It is possible that temperature contributed to this event.It is unclear that if the patient was experienced user based on the information provided.It is the responsibility of the healthcare provider to ensure patient is educated in the proper use of the system.At this time for the fast flow, the root cause is determined to be inappropriate use of the product.Halyard health has no independent knowledge of the event reported but is relaying the information that was provided by the user facility where the incident occurred.This product incident is documented in the halyard health complaint database and identified as (b)(4).
