Event Description

The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that prior to cardiopulmonary bypass, the reservoir clotted. The act was 625. The pump suckers were not used. 200 ml of washed cell saver blood was added to venous reservoir prior to bypass, then circuit was recirculated and the clotting occurred in the reservoir. No bank blood was added or used. Fluid level would continually drop and level alarm would go off (even with additional 200 ml plasmalyte added to circuit). The washed blood was from the surgeon harvesting the internal mammary artery. 20,000 units of heparin was put into the pump prime and no prime was removed from the cpb circuit. Oxygenator and reservoir changed out once the clotting was noted and unable to be corrected. This was not an emergency case. No consequence or impact to patient. The product was changed out. Procedure was completed successfully.
