Manufacturer Narrative

Further evaluation of this event has determined that the device did notcauseor contribute to a death or serious injury, nor is there a likely potential for death or seriousinjuryassociated with this event based on additional investigational information.During subsequentfollow up with the customer, it was confirmed that the reported alarm occured beforeconnectingthe patient and starting the procedure and therefore there is no concern of hypovolemia forthisevent.A review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities duringmanufacturing that were relevant to this issue.The run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.A terumo bct global clinical marketing specialist spoke to the customer regarding this issueandexplained the importance of accurately configuring the secondary plasma device (spd).Root cause: review of the dlogs indicate that multiple configuration changes to the plasmadevice prime volume likely contributed to the reported ¿patient may be hypervolemic¿ alarm.The¿patient may be hypervolemic¿ alarm is generated when the safety system detects the patient¿sfluid balance was changed too quickly.If the operatorgoes back from the start run screen to initiate a device prime during an spd procedure andmultiple prime volume changes are made, as in this case, a large fluid balance/hour can accruepriorto start of the run and generate this alarm.Additionally, this alarm should not be active duringprime as the patient is not connected.As such this issue has been escalated internally foradditional investigation.Once this alarm is generated during prime, the recommended way toclearit is to disconnect and load another kit.A new kit was eventually loaded, and the run was abletoproceed.
