Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during surgery the tourniquet had an air leakage at the cuff end interface.The machine showed that the pressure is unstable, fluctuating up and down.The equipment was constantly replenished with air source, resulting in the inability to effectively stop bleeding during the operation.The surgical field in the wound is unclear, resulting in slow operation progress and excessive blood loss in the patient's limbs, the function of the hemostat serves to block the blood flow between the limbs and reduce bleeding.The doctor chose to stick the root of the finger to reduce the bleeding, the equipment was immediately stopped, and the spare equipment was replaced to continue the operation.There was spontaneous deflation due to the bad connector.The amount of blood lost by the patient was 50cc, however there was no medical intervention or blood transfusion performed.The pressure observed was less than the set pressure.No adverse event as a result to the device malfunction.Due diligence is complete and there is no further information available.
