Manufacturer Narrative

The manufacturer is reporting the following complaint after a voluntary review of all complaints (reportable or not) since 2016.This report is being filed now, after being scrutinized under a newly revised risk matrix, recently adopted after inspection.It was reported by the customer that the device tested positive for a few things however they did not provide any further clarification as to what they meant by this.The operator failed to clamp or valve the line prior to disconnection.The primary cause was the use of flexible surgical tubing material instead of the cardioquip hose kits that were provided with the device.Surgical tubing should not be used for hcd water lines, as it creates a significant spray hazard every time it is pressurized.
