Event Description
|
It was reported that during use on a patient a "low vacuum" alarm occurred on a cs300 intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp).The end user stated that the patient was slightly tachycardic at times but never exceeded 112bpm and also stated the alarm had occurred a few times in the last couple of hours.Getinge customer support (gcr) suggested swapping out to another console and tagging this unit to be tested by biomedical engineering.The nurse stated he had another cs300 readily available, and the gcr reviewed transitioning to another unit to reduce downtime of therapy.The nurse verbalized his confidence in doing so and verbalized that there was no harm to the patient because of this issue.

Additional information was requested from the customer with regard to the repair and status of the iabp.The customer reported that they evaluated the iabp unit and were able to reproduce the reported issue.They discovered that k6 would intermittently activate while pumping which could be heard.After some troubleshooting, the sd and pump assembly were ruled out and the drive assembly was replaced to fix the issue.The faulty drive assembly reproduced low vacuum alarms and intermittent k6 activation.The iabp was then put back in clinical service.
