Event Description

It was reported that there was low flow on the arctic sun device. The device was maintaining patient temperature at 34c. Now the patient temperature was 34. 1c. The device was working fine but over the past hours the flow rate was 0. 7lpm. The nurse disconnected and reconnected the pads using the proper technique with no flow improvement. They ran diagnostics then the flow rate was 2. 4lpm, inlet pressure was -8 psi and the circulation pump command was at 80%. Reconnected pads using proper technique and the issue seemed to be with the trunk pads. Ms&s suggested to try on a second device and if flow still was still low, switch out pads. The nurse called back an hour later and with a second device, the flow was the same so they kept the patient on the first device. Reconnected pads using proper technique, issue seemed to be with the trunk pads. Suggested trying a second device and if still low flow to switch out pads. Called back an hour later and with a second device flow was the same so they kept the patient on first device. The attending did not want to switch out pads since the patient was maintaining target temperature. Ms&s explained to nurse that with flow rate too low the heater will not kick in if the patient dips below the target. In addition, the pads had been in use for 5 days. Ms&s explained that pads are supposed to be switched out every 5 days and would discussed changing the pads again with attending. Additional information was received from mss on 26may2020, that the biomed received the device and stated he attempted to drain the device but no water comes out. The water level showed 3 bars.
