In the previous mdr our initial review of the information led it to an incorrect assessment that the issue identified was due to user error.After further review of the information provided, this was not the case.The clinician used the adult oxygenator for the purposes of extracorporeal oxygenation of and carbon dioxide removal from human blood for the pediatric patient due to the fact that the clinic did not have a neonate or pediatric device available.Quadrox-i adult is intended for use in extracorporeal circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery.The device oxygenates the blood, eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood and regulates blood temperature.The quadrox-i adult (hmo 71000) version with integrated arterial filter also filters out air bubbles and particles larger than 40 um.The device¿s utilization period is limited to six hours.Responsibility for deciding whether to use an oxygenator rests solely with the attending physician.
