Event Description

It was reported that the case was shoulder scope, arthroscopic distal clavicle resection and subpectoral tenodesis.During the case, the pump was accelerating, the inflow tube wheel was spinning at a high rate.It was set at 50 (standard setting).The canister was filling with water; it was about 2/3 full.Pressure was high; water was coming out of the cannula.The pump was turned off / on and the problem continued.They then changed out the tubing and the problem was solved.It was then seen that the patient arm from shoulder to elbow turned blue; blood pressure spiked; the swelling went up to the neck, down the back and into the stomach.They aborted the plan to do a arthroscopic distal clavicle resection.A sonogram was performed to check on lungs / vocal chords.Vitals were good; they did a subpectoral tenodesis as planned.The patient is being kept overnight.Patient (b)(6), (b)(6) years.Additional information obtained (b)(6) 2016: pump being used was ar-6480.Per reporter the pump has been checked by the facility's surgery maintenance and is deemed functional.If any additional incidence occurs the facility will return the pump at that time.Facility believes it was the pump tubing and have removed all additional tubing of the same lot out of their inventory.The surgeon provided an update to the reporter.Surgeon confirmed the patient is doing fine and patient went home the next day after the procedure.Surgeon has not gone back to do the patient's distal clavicle and does not have the patient rescheduled for any additional surgery.
