The actual device was not returned; therefore, an evaluation of the actual device was unable to be conducted.The production lot number was not provided by the user facility, which prevented a meaningful review of the device history record.Ifu states: upon patient rewarming, adjust o2 concentration, gas flow rate and blood flow rate by increasing them as needed based on an increasing in patient's metabolism.Failure to adjust the gas supply and the blood flow rate appropriately may cause insufficient o2 supply needed or the amount of the patient's gaseous metabolism.Measure blood gases and make necessary adjustments as follows.Control paco2 by changing the total flow.To decrease paco2, increase total gas flow.To increase paco2, decrease total gas flow.It is likely that the pvco2 increased due to the patient's metabolism activated by the rewarming, which resulted in the incomplete co2 removal.However, with no return of the actual device, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.Terumo medical products (tmp) (importer) registration no.(b)(4) is submitting this report on behalf of ashitaka factory of terumo corporation (manufacturer) registration no.(b)(4).
