Event Description

Medtronic received information that prior to use of a fusion oxygenator, it was reported that upon priming the circuit and oxygenator and recirculating, the perfusionist noticed that the oxygenator was leaking inside the top cover.The perfusionist decided to change out the oxygenator because it was "wetted out" inside the casing of the oxygenator.There was no patient involvement so no adverse effect occurred.Medtronic received additional information that there was no damage to the device packaging or to the device identified.
