Event Description

The customer reported that during a trima collection procedure, the "shirt" of the tubing of the disposable set detached itself, "dirting" the nurse.Per the customer, both eyes and the mouth mucus membrane were spattered onto the nurse and the nurse went to the emergency room.Patient id, gender, weight and outcome are unavailable at this time.Terumo bct is awaiting the return of the trima collection set.

Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.Investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.

Event Description

Per customer follow up,the patient is reported in 'fine' condition and tests performed did not indicate any changes in the virology report of the patient and the donor.Due to eu personal data protection laws, the patient age and weight are not available from the customer.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being filed to provide additional information and corrected information.Investigation: the disposable set was returned to terumo bct for investigation.Visual inspection confirmed the reported issue.A leak was verified via a detached vacutainer hub from the sample draw tubing line socket.There was evidence to suggest the hub was inserted adequately onto the tubing, over the lower set of tail sp lines as per specification.Investigation is in process, a follow-up report will be provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being filed to provide additional information.Updated root cause: the root cause of the blood exposure was a leak via a detached vacutainer hub from the sample draw tubing line socket.The root cause of the leak was undetermined.Possible causes of the leak include, but are not limited to: variation in the tightness of the connection, which can be aggravated by temperature fluctuations and/or vibrations of the assembly that can occur during sterilization and/or shipment of the tubing set; handling of the set during manufacturing or at the customer site if excessive force is applied to either the tubing or the vacutainer.Since the tubing is not chemically bonded to the vacutainer, it is possible to separate this junction if this area is pulled on.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: internal risk assessment estimates that the probability of infection to be low with transfusion-transmitted viruses (ttvs), including hiv, hbv, hcv, and west nile, dengue, and zika arboviruses, due to mucus­ membrane contact with blood from an infected individual.The probability ranges from 0.001 to 0.0025.It is estimated that the prevalence of blood donor infection with any of these is low (< 0.00053).The probability of infection with a ttv from mucus membrane contact with donor blood is less than 0.0000013.Terumo bct medical review determined that the potential for injury was low because of the low prevalence of transfusion transmitted pathogens in the donor population and the low probability of injury due to mucus-membrane contact.Investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.
