Event Description
|
A biomedical technician (biomed) at a user facility reported that the nylon cap on a rotor pin on the blood pump of a fresenius 2008t machine melted.The biomed stated that the issue was found when the machine was pulled from service after the bloodlines (a non-fresenius product) used for a patient¿s hemodialysis (hd) treatment were cut.A user facility registered nurse (rn) confirmed during followup that the patient was approximately 2 or 3 hours into treatment when the machine triggered an air detected alarm before the air could enter the bloodlines.The patient¿s blood was rinsed back and they did not experience blood loss, a serious injury, adverse event, or require medical intervention as a result of the reported issue.The biomed stated they did not observe any burning smell, smoke, spark, flame, arcing, or any other visible heat or electrical damage related to the melted blood pump rotor.The number of hours on the machine could not be confirmed however the machine is approximately one year old and the blood pump rotor is not original to the machine.The blood pump rotor was replaced, which resolved the machine issue, and that the machine was returned to service without any issues.Additionally, the biomed confirmed that there was no damage observed on any other components, or any other additional issues, associated with the melted blood pump rotor.The complaint sample has been returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.

Plant investigation: no parts were returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.Additionally, no on-site evaluation was performed by a fresenius field service technician (fst).A records review was performed on the reported serial number.An investigation of the device manufacturing records was conducted by the manufacturer.There were no non-conformances, or any associated rework identified during the manufacturing process which could be related to the reported event.In addition, the device history record (dhr) review confirmed the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.The plant investigation was able to confirm the reported issue as it was determined that there was a causal relationship between the objective evidence and the reported event.

Additional information: d9, h3 plant investigation: a sample was returned to the manufacturer for a physical evaluation.The sample consisted of a blood pump rotor.The blood pump rotor was returned with one of the rear guide sheaves (polymer sleeve) deformed and slightly dislodge from the guide pin.The guide sheave does not appear to be melted.The guide sheave is loose and can be easily removed from the guide pin.The returned blood pump rotor was installed onto the blood pump module of a test machine for testing.A patient test was performed with fresenius¿s combiset bloodline and water in dialysis.The patient test was performed at a blood pump rate of 120 ml/min for 15 minutes.The returned rotor did not puncture the bloodline and there were no leaks or air detector alarms during the patient test.The blood pump rate was increased to 600 ml/min for another 15 without any damage to the bloodline, leaks, or air detector alarms.There was no further damage to the guide sheaves and they did not fully dislodge from the pin during testing.There was no sign of a burning smell, smoke, spark, flame, arcing, or any other visible heat damage on the rotor during testing.A detailed inspection shows debris (material transfer) from the guide sheave on the cylindrical surface of the affected pin.There is debris inside the polymer guide sheave from the pin.The deformation of the guide sheave was caused by the rim of the rotor housing of blood pump module.The guide sheave would dislodge from the guide pin contacting the rim of the housing while turning.The investigation was able to confirm the reported issue.
