Event Description
|
It was reported that during use of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure, the temperature range was only 26-28 degrees on the blood parameter monitor (bpm).The device was not changed out, as they used arterial temp from base, then input the data (temperature) into the i-stat.The surgical procedure was completed successfully.There was no delay, no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.Per the clinical review on (b)(4) 2016: the perfusionist (ccp) stated that a bpm unit was sent to them as a back-up, and during first usages the temperature as measured at the shunt sensor was reading up to ten degrees lower than the arterial blood temperature.In addition, it rarely moved outside of a 26-28 degree celsius range even when the patient was being rewarmed to 37 degrees celsius.This behavior is observed each time they use this monitor and has occured with usage of multiple shunt sensors.They continue to use this monitor, until a back-up loaner is provided by the manufacturer.Cases have been completed successfully, without delay and without associated blood loss.There has been no harm observed.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint was confirmed.The investigation determined that the thermistors were not built per the specifications, where the drawing note requires the thermistor chip to be located within first 0.050 inches of the sleeve.Further investigation at the supplier determined that the chip location did not transfer from design to manufacturing at the supplier.Further investigation also identified improper supplier controls at the time to ensure that the part met specification.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
