Plant investigation: the complaint device was returned to the manufacturer for physical evaluation.During the gross visual examination of the sample, it was noted that the returned blood pump rotor has a missing sleeve (guide sheave) on one of the rear guide pin.The returned rotor was installed onto the blood pump module of a test machine for testing.A patient test was performed with fresenius¿s combiset bloodline and water in dialysis (blood pump rate set at 450 ml/min).The blood pump rotor functioned properly without any failures.The bloodline (tubing) was not damaged during the test.A records review was performed on the reported serial number.An investigation of the device manufacturing records was conducted by the manufacturer.There were no non- conformances, or any associated rework identified during the manufacturing process which could be related to the reported event.In addition, the device history record (dhr) review confirmed the results of the in-progress and final quality control (qc) testing met all requirements.The investigation into the complaint was able to confirm the reported event.The cause was determined to be due to a mechanical problem and traced to component failure.
