Event or Problem Description
The customer contacted therakos to report a patient feeling "unwell" during an extracorporeal photopheresis (ecp) treatment.Hemoglobin had dropped to 6.9, so a blood transfusion was administered.The treatment had begun with hematocrit at 22%.At the start of ecp treatment, systolic blood pressure was 140mmhg, but dropped to 90mmhg during treatment.Spo2 was also unstable, ranging from around 90 to 97%, so a small amount of oxygen was administered via the nasal passage.The whole blood processing volume was changed to 1250ml, and treatment continued, after which it was terminated.The customer has stated that they believe the patient's underlying condition could have caused or contributed to the interventions performed, however, it is unknown if the ecp treatment necessitated the oxygen delivery.The patient remains hospitalized.It is unknown if the patient will be continuing ecp treatment.No product was returned for investigation.
