During the initiation phase of the ivtm therapy using an icy catheter (lot #unknown), the nurse noticed that the patient was not reaching the target temperature and the start-up kit (suk) pinwheel was not rotating.The nurse tested the suk in a closed loop, and the pinwheel rotated as intended.However, when the suk was reconnected back to the catheter, the pinwheel would not rotate.The roller pump in the thermogard xp ivtm system was rotating, and no alarms were generated.The patient's temperature was 37.4 degrees, with the target temperature at 34 degrees.The catheter leak check was performed, and there was no sign of a leak.There was no decrease in saline volume from the saline bag, and it was never replaced.The catheter dwell time is unknown.The patient's height is 4ft and 11 inches and weighs 74 kg.Per the nurse, the catheter will be replaced, and not hub all the way in case length is an issue.No harm to the patient was reported.

Additional information in b5 (describe event or problem), d4 (lot #), and h4 (device manufacture date).The customer's reported complaint of the patient not cooling was not confirmed during the functional testing of the returned catheter.No issues or discrepancies were found.No leak or device malfunction was observed during testing, and the catheter functioned as intended.Visual inspection of the returned catheter was performed.There was no kink or physical damage observed on the catheter.Blood residues were observed on the balloons and luer tubings.A functional pressure leak test of the returned catheter was performed.All infusion ports and lumens were flushed without resistance.The catheter was connected to a pressurized inflation device, and the balloons were fully inflated when pressurized up to 100 psi; no leaks or issues were found.In addition, the returned catheter was connected to the returned suk and ran on a peristaltic pump for 10 minutes at high speed; no leak was observed.The suk red pinwheel rotated normally, and the catheter functioned as intended.During further functional testing, the returned catheter was connected to the returned suk and ran on the thermogard console system, running in the max warming mode with a target temperature at 37°c for 60 minutes and running in the max cooling mode with a target temperature at 35°c for 60 minutes.The balloons were properly warming during the warming mode and cooling during the cooling mode.No leak or damage was found on the catheter.The suk red pinwheel and the pump roller were rotating normally, and saline flow was observed during testing.The catheter functioned as intended.
