The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that prior to cardiopulmonary bypass, during setup, when the bpm was removed from the calibrator, the shunt sensor was more wet than usual.No patient involvement.Product was changed out.Procedure was completed successfully.

This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on september 27, 2019.Upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: h6 (identification of evaluation codes 10, 11, 3331, 213, 67).Method code #1: 10 - testing of actual/suspected device.Method code #2: 11 - testing of device from same lot/batch retained by manufacturer.Method code #2: 3331 - analysis of production records.Results code: 213 - no device problem found.Conclusions code: 67 - no problem detected.The returned sample was visually inspected upon receipt with no noted anomalies on the shunt body or sparger assemblies.It was noted that the unit did not have any buffer solution in it.New buffer solution was added.The unit was then set up for gas calibration with the cdi 500 and cdi 540.Gas calibration was attempted but failed with a co2 sensor air equilibrium error on pco2.Gas calibration was attempted again, and the unit was successful on the second attempt.The bpm unit was then taken out of the calibrator with the large bore cap still loosened to recreate the reported event.The unit and calibrator were wet and there was little to no buffer left in the unit.The large bore cap was hand tightened and the unit was then leak tested by connecting with the calibrated manometer, submerged into a water bath, and pressurized with air up to 1030 mmhg, and observed for any leaks.No leaks were noted.The retention sample from the same product code and lot number was found to be successfully gas calibrated and leak tested with no issues.The returned sample was found to be wet upon removing the bpm from the calibrator without tightening the large bore cap during the investigation.The most likely root cause is that the large bore cap had not been tightened prior to removing the bpm from the calibrator during use.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
