It was reported that the oxygenator module showed high delta pressure between inlet and outlet (500 mmhg in and 180 mmhg out) since the beginning of the ecc.Shortly after the start (+/- 5 min), the whole circuit was replaced with a new one.The product has been investigated in the laboratory of manufacturer on (b)(6) 2021.The visual inspection showed that there was no damage on the oxygenator.The leak test performed on blood side and water side also showed no abnormalities.Based on the test results, there is no indication of a cause for reported failure.Medical assessment was performed on (b)(6) 2021 by medical affairs.Considering the actual provided information the malfunction was not caused by the product or by user error.The event had no impact on the gas exchange of the product.However in reference to the risk assessment (quadrox-i small adult/adult, quadrox-id, dms #1464420 v17 ) the following events can contribute to clotting in the circuit: blockage of oxygenator; obstruction of filter; blockage of blood flow; inappropriate blood flow; air, particles, thrombogenicity in the circuit, at this point, the exact root cause of the event contained in this complaint is not able to be determined.Based on this the reported failure could not be confirmed.Device history record was reviewed on (b)(6) 2021.Following tests are performed according to the bop as a 100 % inspection: leak test after welding; pressure test heat exchanger; leak test water side; leak and flow test gas side; pressure test blood side.According to the final test results, the oxygenator with the serial# (b)(6) passed the tests as per specifications.Production related influences can be excluded.The occurrence rate was calculated for the reported failure and product and it was determined that this is not a systemic issue.Therefore, no remedial action is required.The occurrence rate related to the reported issue is currently being monitored as part of maquet cardiopulmonary¿s trending program and additional investigations or corrections will be implemented in case of adverse trending.
