Investigation: total amount of fluids collected (per machine): 223ml; total amount of fluids given by machine (per machine): 1115ml; other fluids given: calcium gluconate iv = 321ml, ns flushes 80ml.Anticoagulant (ac) bag volumes=750mls / normal saline (ns)= 1000mls.2 bags of ac were used, 1 bag of ns used.Ns: 100 - 200 mls left in the bag at the time of customer call.Customer admitted the patient received a lot of saline when trying to resolve inlet pressure alarms.This diluted the patient¿s blood and caused subsequent 'interface taking too long to establish' alarms.Per the customer, the patient¿s tbv was 4785 ml and they used a 1l bag of saline.Assuming the worst case scenario of having 100 ml saline left in the bag as observed by the operator, the patient¿s fluid balance at the time of the call is calculated as 118.9 % investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information in evaluation codes and additional mfr narrative.Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.In the procedural cautions section of the spectra optia apheresis system essentials guide, it states that if the roller clamp on the saline line is left completely open when the patient is connected, the patient will be quickly infused with a large volume of saline.Root cause: based on the customer's statement, she had inadvertently left the inlet saline roller clamp open and this was the root cause of the 'interface took too long to establish' alarm.The operator closed the clamp and spiked another bag of saline.She was able to establish the interface and complete the procedure after closing the inlet saline roller clamp.
