Event or Problem Description

It was additionally reported that no issues were noted during priming.No leaking of crystalloid was noted during routine check of the primed pump.The patient was unstable and had to be off of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va ecmo) for the circuit exchange but tolerated it well with increased pressors.The leakage seemed intermittent; initially the source was thought to be from a pigtail which was changed out.The leakage was from the inside of the blue portion on the bottom of the oxygenator.The new oxygenator worked fine.No infectious risk was noted.
