Medtronic received information that during use of a custom tubing pack, the customer reported seeing air bubbles in the av loop line.The customer pinched the tubing near the connectors and observed that the tubing was loose in the connector and not sealed/bonded as it should have been.The customer stated that the connections were not tight on both the flow transducer and the 3/8 x 3/8 ll on arterial line.The device was replaced.There was no patient impact associated with this event.It was stated that all of the connections used to be tie banded, but they were moved to bonded at the customer's request during the last revision.Medtronic received additional information that a small bubble was noted at the connection between the tubing and the flow sensor.No suction or venting was on; the system was being primed, and no bubble sensor was used.There was no purge line, and a bubble was visible in the system.The customer squeezed the connection and found it to be loose.The customer discontinued use and opened a new av loop.
