Manufacturer Narrative

The product was disposed by the hospital; therefore no manufacturer laboratory investigation was possible.Clotting is a known phenomenon and has been investigated in a previous complaint.The cause of this failure was determined to not be attributed to a device related malfunction.Based on the results of the previous complaint investigation and the information available at this time, the oxygenator in question operated within maquet cardiopulmonary specifications.Based on the event information provided at this time the most probable cause of the reported failure could be associated with the use of the arterial luer lock connector.If hereby in each case a not adequate de-aired or low circulated flush line of a multiple way stopcock was used, or if a recirculation of the ultra filtrated blood into the system by this connector was performed could not be determined anymore.A product related malfunction is based on the provided information very unlikely.Most probable a systematic problem was causing the reported event.As the product was scrapped by the hospital the serial-number is not available, and therefore a dhr review for the specific oxygenator could not be carried out.Based on this a confirmation of the failure is not possible.This data will be handled through a designated maquet trending process.If a trend occurs, it will be escalated to quality assurance management for review and determination if further investigation is necessary.Due to this no further action will be completed at this time.
