Event or Problem Description
|
|
A perfusionist at (b)(6), reported an issue with an mps3 nd console to a quest representative.It was stated that during a case, the arrest agent appeared to deliver its contents faster than expected.When a refill was attempted, the plunger unexpectedly pushed the entire contents out at once.A subsequent refill test using saline yielded the same result.It was disclosed that during the initial setup, the cartridge was installed without the plunger attached, causing approximately 10-20cc of fluid to spill onto the unit.This incident resulted in an extended on-pump time and required the patient to undergo a blood transfusion, as excess potassium needed to be purged from the mps disposable.The console has been removed from service and will be returned to quest medical for investigation.

The console was received, decontaminated, and thoroughly inspected.During the inspection, dried fluid was observed on the arrest pump microswitch and actuator, while no damage was found on the drug piston rubber cover drum.This suggests that fluid intrusion occurred due to the incorrect installation of an arrest cartridge without a plunger, allowing pressurized fluid to accumulate around the drug piston.The affected components were replaced, and the device successfully passed all operational verification testing.The root cause was determined to be operator error, specifically the installation of an arrest cartridge without a plunger, which led to the reported issue.At this time, no corrective action is being implemented, as the failure remains an isolated occurrence.However, quest medical will continue to monitor this issue for any emerging trends and take appropriate action if necessary.
