The perfusionist confirmed that she had placed the pads onto the reservoir the evening before placing the sensors onto the pads.Upon replacing the pads with new ones, the perfusionist waited several minutes before attaching the sensors, but subsequently the same problem occurred.She noted that she had wiped the reservoir surface with alcohol prior to placing the second set of pads.The case was completed without incident, but the perfusionist continued to get alarms due to the pads not adhering properly to the reservoir.The pads were able to be removed from the reservoir easier than expected.The perfusionist noted that the box of pads was almost empty and had not experienced any issues with any of the other pads.

It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the level sensing pads were not sticking and causing the level sensor to alarm.As mitigation, new level sensing pads were applied.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There was no delay, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
Per clinical review: the perfusionist had an incident with the level sensing system during a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure on (b)(6) 2021.She set up the pads, and sensors per the instructions for use (ifu) for the procedure.While on bypass, the level sensor pad alarm kept going off and the pads were found to be partially detaching.They were pushed back on, but continued to become detached.The perfusionist decided to place new pads on the reservoir, and noted that these pads were able to be removed from the reservoir very easily (more easily than expected).She confirmed that she had placed these pads on the reservoir long in advance of placing the sensors onto the pads (pads were placed the previous evening).Upon replacing both pads with new ones, the perfusionist waited several minutes before attaching the sensors onto the pads, but subsequently she experienced the same problem, whereby the pads would not stay adhered to the reservoir.The perfusionist noted that she had wiped the reservoir surface with alcohol prior to placing the second set of pads.The case was completed without incident, but the perfusionist continued to get alarms due to the pads not adhering properly to the reservoir.She also noted that this was a box of pads that was almost empty, and had not experienced this problem previously with the same lot number.There was no delay in the continuation of the surgical procedure.There was no harm or blood loss due to this incident.

During laboratory evaluation, the product surveillance technician (pst) observed the level sensor pads to meet specification.The pst placed five level sensor pads onto a lab use only (luo) reservoir and found them to have excellent adhesion.The pads could not be removed by hand without the use of a flathead screwdriver to pry the pads loose and leaving a significant amount of adhesion.There was no observation of any anomalies.
