Manufacturer's investigation conclusion: the root cause of the reported event was unable to be identified by the external manufacturer of the oxygenator (eurosets) based on the available information.The oxygenator was returned to abbott where an initial visual inspection was performed.Visual inspection of the oxygenator revealed no obvious damage that would have been present during support.The device was unable to be returned to the external manufacturer (eurosets) for further testing due to eurosets¿ internal procedures.The production documentation for the eurosets infant oxygenator, lot number 10453300, was reviewed by the external manufacturer (eurosets) and showed that all tests from the production process were compliant with the technical specifications.Devices are required to pass manufacturing inspections and specifications prior to release and no abnormalities were documented which would cause or contribute to the reported occurrence.This device passed all required testing.Eurosets was unable to identify the root cause of the problem based only on the information provided by the customer and without the claimed device.The eurosets amg pmp infant cardiopulmonary bypass oxygenator instructions for use (ifu), rev.00, is currently available.Under the list of warnings, the ifu warns that during use, a spare oxygenator must always be available and also warns that the device has to be carefully and continuously checked by qualified healthcare professionals throughout the procedure.Under the section titled, ¿bypass start¿, the ifu contains a subsection on blood gas monitoring and explains how to adjust the relevant parameters based on the patient¿s blood gas values.Under the section titled ¿oxygenator replacement¿, this document states that a spare oxygenator must always be available during perfusion.After 6 hours of use with blood or if particular situations occur, which may lead the person responsible for perfusion to determine the safety of the patient may be compromised (insufficient oxygenator performance, leaks, abnormal blood parameters, etc.), follow the procedure outlined in the ifu for oxygenator replacement.No further information was provided.The manufacturer is closing the file on this event.
