D6a: implanted date: device was not implanted.D6b: explanted date: device was not explanted.E1: initial reporter name: unknown.E1: phone number: unknown.E2: health professional: unknown.E3: occupation: unknown.Confirmation of the provided image found transparent bubbles were found on the gas outlet side.Visual inspection of the actual sample upon receipt found no anomaly such as a breakage.Leak test of the actual sample: the actual sample (after rinsing) was installed into a circuit consisting of tubes, and the colored saline solution was circulated through the actual sample.No leakage was found.The blood outlet port side was clamped, and the inside of housing on the gas channel side was inspected when an air pressure of 2 kgf/cm2 was applied to the blood channel from the blood inlet port side.No leakage was found.The manufacturing record and the incoming inspection record of the actual product found no anomaly.No other similar report of the product with the involved product code/lot number was found.Based on the investigation result, as a possible cause of bubbles found on the gas outlet side, following factors were inferred from our past experience.However, no anomaly that could lead to a leak was found in the actual sample, and the cause of occurrence could not be clarified.The blood properties changed due to some factor, a substance having a surface-active action was produced, and the relationship between the surface tension of blood and gas maintained in the micropores of fiber was broken.This made the fibers hydrophilic, leading to plasma leakage.Liquid adhered to the gas outlet side due to some factor, causing bubbles to form when air was swept.Relevant instructions for use (ifu) reference: "do not use an oxygenator and reservoir that leaks.Replace it with another capiox fx05 oxygenator and reservoir." terumo medical products (tmp) (importer) registration no.2243441 is submitting this report on behalf of ashitaka factory of terumo corporation (manufacturer) registration no.9681834.
