Event Description
|
The facility administrator (fa) from a hemodialysis (hd) clinic reported that the blood pump rotor tubing guide broke on a fresenius 2008t machine and sliced the blood tubing causing it to leak.Upon follow-up, it was reported that this occurred twice on the same machine, but with separate patients.Each time, the blood pump rotor cut the bloodline tubing approximately one to two hours into hd treatment.The fa stated the blood pump rotor was chafing the tubing and eventually cut through it.Both patients were able to complete their treatment on the machine after being re-setup with new supplies.The fa stated the estimated blood loss (ebl) was 100 ml for each event.Per the fa, the operator had noticed a small amount of blood dripping onto the floor, which alerted them to the issue.The fa stated this was a machine issue, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the bloodlines.There were no machine alarms, but none were expected.The fa stated that blood was being pushed out, through the sliced tubing.There were no air detector alarms because ¿no air was being sucked in¿ [sic].Following the first event, the facility continued using the machine not knowing the blood pump rotor was damaged.However, the same thing happened with the next patient who dialyzed on the machine.After the second blood leak event, further investigation revealed that the blood pump rotor tubing guide broke and sliced the bloodline tubing.It was reported that the facility purchases their blood pump rotors from a third-party vendor (gia medical).The fa stated the blood pump rotor was replaced and this resolved the reported issue.Other than blood loss, it was confirmed there was no patient injury, no adverse effects were experienced, and no medical intervention was required as a result of the reported events.The fa declined to provide any patient information.No sample was available to be returned for evaluation as the damaged rotor was discarded.This report captures the second event.
