Event Description
|
The customer reported that approximately 2 hours into a collection procedure, they received multiple high pressure alarms.The operator observed clotting in the collection bag and in there-infusion tubing line.The operator stopped and aborted the procedure.It is unknown at this time if medical intervention was required for this event.Patient information and outcome are not available at this time.Terumo bct is awaiting return of the collection set for investigation.

Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: per the customer, the spectra optia machine displayed that 499ml of acda was used during the procedure.However, the acda was completely full.The optia set was received for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed the set was assembled correctly with no kinks, leaks, occlusions or missing parts.Flow of blood was observed throughout the set and in the inlet line, cassette and channel.There was evidence of clumping in the channel connector.No disposable defects were identified.The run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Review of the rdf and aim interface images for this procedure confirmed the presence of clumping in the connector throughout the entirety of the procedure.The procedure was eventually ended because the clumping led to ¿return pressure was too high¿ alarms after 109 minutes.According to the complaint little to no ac was actually removed from the bag.This may indicate that there may have been a blockage or occlusion in the ac line.Possible causes for this include the ac line becoming occluded as a result of loading into the ac fluid detector or by some component near the ac line such as a blood warmer or a defect in the tuning set.An occlusion in the ac line could have caused fluid to be consistently present at the ac fluid detector, while limiting/blocking flow through the ac line at the same time.The signals in the run data file indicate that the ac fluid detector was functioning as intended, as the sensor saw fluid in the ac line during ac prime, at the beginning of the procedure, and throughout the run.Furthermore, during ac prime, the system uses the inlet pressure sensor to verify that the ac line is not initially occluded.There were no alarms during ac prime to suggest an occlusion was present in the ac line at the start of the procedure.Investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Root cause: review of the rdf and aim interface images for this procedure confirmed the presence of clumping in the connector throughout the entirety of the procedure.The procedure was eventually ended because the clumping led to ¿return pressure was too high¿ alarms after 109 minutes.According to the complaint little to no ac was actually removed from the bag.This may indicate that there may have been a blockage or occlusion in the ac line.Possible causes for this include the ac line becoming occluded as a result of loading into the ac fluid detector or by mono component near the ac line such as a blood warmer or a defect in the tubing set.An occlusion in the ac line could have caused fluid to be consistently present at the ac fluid detector, while limiting/blocking flow through the ac line at the same time.
