Event Description
|
It was reported that 1 bd alaris¿ lvp 20d 2ss cv had check valve malfunction issues.The following information was provided by the initial reporter : the customer reported that the primary bag mounted on the pole and lowered the secondary bag down below the primary (the entire infusion kit set clamped downstream of the junction between the two kits) to re-fill the secondary.Then raised the secondary bag back above the primary bag (mounted correctly on the pole with an 8â¿쳌 head), we observed rapid backflow from the secondary kit into the primary.This test was repeated multiple times to the same result.This clearly shows that the bcv was malfunctioning and was the root cause of this incident.In the process of this testing, the bcv began to function correctly and is currently preventing backflow.Event date: (b)(6) 2022.

The following fields were updated due to additional information: d10: device available for eval yes, d10: returned to manufacturer on: 01-jul-2022.H6: investigation summary one sample was received for quality investigation.The customer complaint of check valve failure was not verified by investigation.Evaluation was conducted by simulating an infusion using the sample provided.The primary infusion set was primed with saline solution and the secondary set, that was supplied with the sample, was primed using a solution with blue dye to determine if the check valve is allowing for backflow into the primary infusion bag.The primary infusion set was set to pump at a rate of 200ml/hr.The secondary infusion bag, with dyed water, was placed 9 inches above the primary infusion bag and the infusion was monitored to see if the dyed liquid would travel back past the check valve into the primary infusion bag.There was no backflow past the check valve observed.The secondary infusion bag height in comparison to the primary bag height was adjusted to try and simulate the reported failure.There were no instances, at different height levels, where they dyed liquid traveled backwards past the primary infusion set check valve.No other issues were noted during the investigation.A device history record review for model 2420-0007 lot number 22036099 was performed.The search showed that a total of (b)(4) units in 1 lot number was built on 17mar2022.There were no quality notifications issued for the failure mode reported by the customer during the production build of this set.A root cause could not be established because the reported failure could not be replicated.
