Event Description
|
It was reported that an elastomeric homepump had a bolus button stuck in the down position.The pump was connected to a patient by a nurse.During the connection, the nurse pushed the button to give the patient the first ondemand dosage.The button remained in the down position upon pushing and did not return to its original upward position.The pump was immediately removed from the patient.It was noted that an orange piece could be seen inside the ondemand unit.A photo received from the initial reporter displayed the orange (yellow) indicator at the bottom.There was no reported patient injury.

Manufacturer Narrative

The pump was received full.The pinch clamp was opened and the pump infused at all selectable rates.It was observed at this time that the bolus button was stuck down.The tubing was cut below the blue connector to drain the pump.A male and female luer were used with cyclohexanone to bond the tubing back together.The pump was refilled with 400ml of 0.9% saline using a baxa repeater.Flow accuracy testing was performed with setting the saf to 6ml/hr.After 50 hours, the pump yielded a flow rate of 4.65ml/hr which is within specification with a +/- 20% tolerance.The pressure pot was performed on the selected-a-flow unit flow rates 2ml/hr, 4ml/hr, 8ml/hr and 14ml/hr without the filter.The saf unit was detached from the pump.The saf unit was connected to a pressure gauge.The average bladder pressure used was 8.24psi.The saf flow rate 2ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 17.90ml/hr, which is above specifications with a +/-20% tolerance.Flow rate 4ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 25.35ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.Flow rate 8ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 32.75ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.Flow rate 14ml/hr yielded a flow rate of 40.60ml/hr which is within specifications with a +/- 20% tolerance.Destructive analysis was performed with an r&d engineer present.After opening the pca it was found that the button was still stuck down, even with one side of the pca housing removed.A visual observation found that the tip of the red prime key had broken off and was lodged behind the button and the spring clip.As a result the button became wedge down when depressed.The evaluation summary concludes that the pca button was stuck down.Flow accuracy testing was performed and the flow rate was within specification with a +/- 20% tolerance.Pressure pot testing was performed on the saf and each rate was higher than the specification +/- 20% tolerance while using the average bladder pressure.Destructive analysis found that the tip of the red prime key was stuck behind the button and spring clip therefore keeping it wedged down after being depressed.Root cause could not be determined.All information reasonably known as of 22-may-2017 has been included in this health authority report.Should additional information be obtained, a follow-up health authority report will be provided.The information provided by halyard health represents all of the known information at this time.Despite good faith efforts to obtain additional information, the complainant / reporter was unable or unwilling to provide any further patient, product, or procedural details to halyard health.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 complaint (b)(4).
