Event Description

Report from perfusionist: as discussed with you earlier, i have attached photos of the oxygenator showing the problem i experienced whilst i was dismantling the circuit post bypass.As i lifted the oxygenator from its holder to dispose of i noticed blood/fluid escaping onto the floor.On careful inspection it was discovered that the tap on the filtered portion of the unit and its barrel had become detached from its housing causing its contents to spill out.I have retained the unit and washed it through and bagged it for your collection and its return for testing/inspection.This is a very worrying event, especially as it appears that very little force (if any) was involved to cause it to happen and would therefore like it inspected and reported on as soon as possible please.Complaint #: (b)(4).
