Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: the run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.A review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Root cause: the rdf confirmed this procedure was terminated early due to persistent access pressure alerts.Rdf analysis did not show a conclusive root cause for the coagulation found at the access needle site at removal.Analysis did not show signs of clotting occurring within the tubing set.The platelet product collected at a steady state expected concentration.If clots enter the tubing set, there are filters to ensure they are not returned to the donor.Based on the access alerts early in the procedure, it is possible the venipuncture activated the clotting factors in the blood at the needle site.
