The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that during cardiopulmonary bypass, the fluid would not break through the cardiotomy sock.As per user facility, the perfusionist was doing a pump stand by procedure on a fully heparinized patient.This procedure never actually went on-pump.The perfusionist, tried to recircher volume and the fluid would not break through the cardiotomy sock.She filled the cardiotomy filter w clear fluid/saline above the blood line on the cardiotomy sock to see if she would have better flow through the sock and still was getting very little volume breaking through.The ccs perfusion staff did dismantle the cardiotomy into its components to see if there was a physical barrier of clot formation in the filter.They did not see any physical barrier or clot in/on the filter.No known impact or consequence to patient.Product was changed out.Procedure was completed successfully.

This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on may 17, 2022.Upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: d4 (additional device information - added exp date).G3 (date received by manufacturer).G6 (indication that this is a follow-up report).H2 (follow-up due to additional information and device evaluation).H3 (device evaluated by manufacturer).H4 (device manufacture date).H6 (identification of evaluation codes 10, 11, 3331, 213, 4315).Type of investigation #1: 10 - testing of actual/suspected device.Type of investigation #2: 11 - testing of device from same lot/batch retained by manufacturer.Type of investigation #3: 3331 - analysis of production records.Investigation findings: 213 - no device problem found.Investigation conclusions: 4315 - cause not established.The returned sample was inspected upon receipt.It was noted that the cr filter had been removed by the customer.No other anomalies were noted with the filter.Saline was poured into the filter and inspected for breakthrough.The initial break through took 8.21 seconds, lower than the maximum time requirement of = 11 seconds.The test was performed two more times, with the breakthrough times being 3.41 and 1.76.The cr break through testing was found to be within specification; therefore, a definitive root cause was unable to be determined.A representative retention sample from the same lot number was obtained, no visual anomalies noted.The retention sample was tested for cr break through time, break through volume, and static volume.All results were within specifications.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
