Manufacturer's investigation conclusion: functional testing of the returned oxygenator by the manufacturer (eurosets) confirmed an oxygenator leak due to fiber breakage; however, a specific root cause for the fiber breakage could not be conclusively determined through this evaluation.The oxygenator was returned to abbott where an initial visual inspection was performed.Visual inspection of the oxygenator revealed no obvious damage.The oxygenator was forwarded to the external manufacturer (eurosets) for technical analysis.The oxygenator was placed on a mock loop with physiological water.The oxygenator was filled using a peristaltic pump at 6 liters per minute (lpm) and remained in the mock loop for 10 minutes.A slow drip in the upper part of the oxygenator was noted.The device was sectioned by removing the lower lid, refilled with water, and then pressurized.The point of loss occurred due to the fiber breakage of the last winding at the gas inlet.Additional investigation of oxygenator leaking issues has been initiated by abbott and sent to eurosets (oxygenator supplier/manufacturer) through a supplier corrective action request.The production documentation for the eurosets amg pmp oxygenator, lot number 10453708, was reviewed by the external manufacturer (eurosets) and showed that all tests made in the production process were compliant with the technical specifications.The eurosets amg pmp instructions for use (ifu), rev.05, is currently available.Under the list of warnings, the ifu warns that during use, a spare oxygenator must always be available.The ifu warns to carefully check the device seal during priming and operation.If you notice leakage during priming or operation, replace the defective device following good perfusion practices.Also, under the section titled ¿set up¿, the ifu warns to ¿carry out a visual inspection and carefully check the device before use.Transport and/or storage conditions other than those prescribed may have caused damage to the device.¿ no further information was provided.The manufacturer is closing the file on this event.
