The actual device has been returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection found no anomalies which would relate to a gas leak or insufficient gas transfer performance.The actual sample, after having been rinsed and dried, was tested for its gas transfer performance in accordance to the factory's shipping inspection protocol.No anomalies were revealed in the gas transfer performance of the actual sample, with the obtained values meeting the factory specifications.A review of the device history record and product release decision control sheets of the involved product/lot# combination was conducted with no relevant findings.A search of the complaint file found no report with the involved product code/lot# combination.The investigation result verified that the actual sample, after having been rinsed and dried, was the normal product with no issue in the gas transfer performance.Based upon the available information, the cause for the reported event cannot be definitively determined.There are many complex clinical variables that may have affected the reportedly observed conditions during the procedure.However, there is no indication that the reported event was related to a product malfunction or defect.The device labeling does address the potential for such an event in the instructions-for-use (ifu) with statements such as: "a phenomenon called wet lung may occur when water condensation occurs inside fibers of microporous membrane oxygenators with blood flowing exterior to the fibers.This may occur when oxygenators are used for a longer period of time.If water condensation and/or a decrease in pao2 and/or an increase in paco2 is noted during extended oxygenator use, briefly increasing the gas flow rate may improme the performance.Increase gas flow rate, to 15 l/min for 10 seconds.Do not repeat this flushing technique, even if oxygenator performance is not improved." terumo medical products (tmp) (importer) registration no.2243441 is submitting this report on behalf of ashitaka factory of terumo corporation (manufacturer) registration no.9681834.Exemption number e2015022.All available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
