Updated fields: b4, b7, d10, g3, g6, g7, h2, h3, h6 (type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions, component code), h11.Product was not returned so an exact cause of the issue could not be identified.However, based on our investigation, a unable to update timing issue can occur due to one or more of the following probable causes.Component failure - potential root cause breakdown: pressure signal unavailable or unreliable.Primary root cause category: timing cannot be updated because the arterial waveform required for timing reference is incorrect or absent.Fiber-optic sensor-related causes: root cause: fiber-optic arterial signal is not detected or is invalid.Contributing factors: fiber-optic calibration failure.Fiber-optic sensor disconnection.Fiber-optic cable break.Fiber-optic cable kink or excessive bending.Improper connector insertion or unsecured cable.Contamination or damage to exposed sensor tip.Use of fiber-optic iab catheter on non-maquet-compatible pumps (off-label).Inner lumen-related causes: root cause: inner lumen cannot transmit an accurate arterial pressure waveform.Contributing factors: blood clot (thrombus) formation within the inner lumen.Partial or complete inner lumen occlusion.Kinked inner lumen.Break or damage to the inner lumen wall.Resistance encountered during aspiration (indicative of occlusion).Using the inner lumen for blood sampling (degrades waveform quality).Inadequate continuous flush (not maintained at 3 cc/hr).Failure to aspirate and discard 3 cc prior to setup.Air bubbles introduced during setup or flushing.Failure to stop pumping during fast flush (embolism prevention step ignored).User error - potential root cause breakdown: pressure signal unavailable or unreliable.Primary root cause category.Timing cannot be updated because the arterial waveform required for timing reference is incorrect or absent.Operation mode/user interaction factors: root cause: timing adjustments cannot be performed correctly due to signal or workflow issues.Contributing factors.
