This report is being filed to provide additional information in b.5, h.6, and h.10 and corrected information in e.3, h.5 and h.8.Investigation: before priming the system with saline (prior to patient connection), the centrifuge ramps up to verify the correct filler is installed.If the optia detects that the filler does not match the selected procedure, the device will alert the operator.Since rinseback could not be performed, the patient's final fluid balance (fb) was estimated.Based on the tbv of the patient (4500 ml) and the extracorporeal volume (ecv) of an idl disposable set (297 ml), the worst case final fb for the patient was approximately 93%, which is within recommended limits.Fb = (4500 - 297)/4500 x 100 = 93% root cause: based on the technical findings, the failure was caused by the operator using the wrong filler and overriding the warning to verify the filler type.Corrected investigation: the following statement is no longer applicable to this investigation: before priming the system with saline (prior to patient connection), the centrifuge ramps up to verify the correct filler is installed.If the optia detects that the filler does not match the selected procedure, the device will alert the operator.Possible causes of the alarm include but are not limited to: procedure or filler was not correct.Filler identification error occurred.Debris on the filler.Channel was not correctly loaded.Defective identification block on idl filler.Discoloration on the non-idl filler.Debris on glass in front of camera.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information in b.5, h6 & h10.Investigation: two fillers are used in the spectra optia machine, the standard filler and the intermediate density layer (idl) filler.The patient's extracorporeal blood volume using the idl filler is larger than that when using the standard filler; therefore, using the idl filler for procedures that should use the standard filler can result in hypovolemia and/or low intravascular rbc content during the procedures in small patients.Before priming the system with saline (prior to patient connection), the centrifuge ramps up to verify the correct filler is installed.If the optia detects that the filler does not match the selected procedure, the device will alert the operator.Possible causes of the alarm include but are not limited to: - procedure or filler was not correct.- filler identification error occurred.- debris on the filler.- channel was not correctly loaded.- defective identification block on idl filler - discoloration on the non-idl filler - debris on glass in front of camera one year of service history was reviewed for this device with no issues related to the reported condition identified.The device serial number history report indicates no further related issues have been reported for this device.Investigation is in process.A follow up report will be provided.
