It was reported that after initiating extracorporal live support, the customer noticed a leak in the arterial outlet of the oxygenator.It became more noticeable upon attempting to move the patient.The oxygenator was changed out and there was no negative patient impact.The product was returned to the manufacturer for technical investigation.During visual inspection blood was detected under the thread of the blood outlet connector.During a tightness test a leakage at the arterial blood outlet connector was confirmed.Upon further investigation it was confirmed that the glue used at the screwed blood outlet connector was applied unevenly.Thus the reported failure "leak in the arterial outlet of oxygenator" could be confirmed and was caused by an uneven applied glue at the thread connection of the connector to the oxygenator housing which led to a blood leakage as the connection was not proper sealed.Mcp production was informed about this observation on 2021-05-19.The occurrence rate regarding the above complaint is below the acceptance rate.Thus, no remedial action 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.
