Event Description

It was reported that two syringes 50ml ll experienced the syringe pump alarming during use, clogged/blocked needles, and a serious injury, medical intervention.The product defects were noted during use.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: patient arrived from cardiac theatres at 19:15 16.6.20 following cabgx4.Initially patient haemodynamically stable.At around 20:00 patient spontaneously dropped blood pressure to 60-70 systolic- iv fluid boluses given and noradrenaline increased.At approx.20:30 patient significantly dropped bp again to 50-60 systolic and norad pump alarmed 'occlusion'.Again, iv fluid given and norad increased.Nurse in charge advised to change noradrenaline syringe at this point as recent similar incidents had happened with other patients on the unit relating to noradrenaline.I drew up another syringe of noradrenaline, new electrocath, pump and lumen on the cvc was used.Patient continued to be haemodynamically unstable overnight and on numerous times dropped blood pressure but norad pump did not alarm.The patient was then treat as hypovolaemic and iv fluid (4l) was given overnight.At approx.04:10 patient again significantly dropped bp to 30 systolic- inadequate cardiac output but no change to ecg trace on monitor.Approx 30 seconds of cpr commenced and iv fluid given.Norad pump then alarmed 'occlusion' again.Metaraminol boluses given by anesthetist and patient bp rose to 60-70 systolic and remained like this until approx 04:30.Norad syringe, pump, line and lumen changed again.Patient then remained stable until the end of my shift at 07:30.Action taken (includes any action by patient, carer or healthcare professional, or by the manufacturer or supplier) as stated in description, norad pump, syringe, line and lumen on cvc was changed at each time pump alarmed 'occlusion'.Anesthetist surgeon was contacted and aware of patients instability regularly overnight and patient was reviewed by surgeon when bp dropped.Cxr performed at approx 22:00 and echo performed at 04:30.Nurse in charge aware of patient overnight and clinical educator informed in the morning to conduct investigation.Syringe changed and patient stabilised.All syringes with batch numbers 2002299 & 2002284 removed.
