Event or Problem Description
|
|
Per clinical review: on (b)(6) 2022, the team experienced a problem with their heart lung machine (hlm) whereby they got multiple alert tones without messages.This issue occurred during cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb), with no change out, no blood loss, no delay, and no adverse event.The clinician eventually realized that the level alert sensor was not fully seated in the level pad and proceeded to reseat the sensor.The logs confirmed the issue that when the level sensor goes from coupled to not attached and back to coupled fast enough, only the audio alert sounds, but no message pops up on the central control monitor (ccm).When this occurs, the proper message is populated in the messages areas of the auxiliary (aux) tab, but users are often not aware of this.
