The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that prior to cardiopulmonary bypass, the oxygenator clotted in the sock of the reservoir.As per the clinical specialist, an information was provided by the chief of perfusionist stating that, during the pre-bypass phase of the procedure, recirculating volume was noted in the cardiotomy filter area of the venous reservoir.The perfusionist performing the procedure called the chief perfusionist into his room to consult on the situation.The filtration media was challenged by adding additional crystalloid via the rapid prime port.It was observed that the additional prime volume added to the circuit was not flowing into the venous reservoir at an expected rate of flow.This indicated to the team that the depth media was occluded.The product had to be changed out.No impact to procedure or patient.This occurred after the pump suctions were initiated and blood was entrained from the field.According to the chief of perfusionist, the surgeons are always pressuring the perfusion team to initiate the pump suctions to recover the blood loss created during cannulation.He also stated that the act¿s were probably on the lower edge of acceptability.The actual act value is unknown.The product was changed out.There was a minimal blood loss.Procedure was completed successfully.
