Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).The actual device has not yet been returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.The investigation is currently ongoing.A follow up report will be submitted once the investigation is complete.For this reason (b)(4) was used in the conclusions section of evaluation codes.A review of the device history record and shipping inspection record from the reported product code/lot number combination was conducted with no relevant findings.A search of the complaint file found one other report from the same user facility with the involved product code/lot number combination.See mdr 9681834-2017-00198.(b)(4).All available information has ben placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.

Event Description

The user facility reported insufficient gas exchange in the capiox device during a procedure.Follow up communication with the user facility confirmed the following information: failure of the oxygenator to oxygenate the blood at 21°c of the patient's nasopharyngeal temperature; sudden drop in pao2 and arterial saturation values through the cdi 500 monitoring, as evidenced by arterial gasometry analysis; due to the first error, there was a need to implement the protocol of cerebral protection (pharmacological and deep hypothermia); elective pediatric surgery to close cia + civ + debanding ap, cec machine - terumo system 1, gas monitoring online - cdi 500, dual - size tubes: 1/4 "- venous blood inlet, 3/16 "- venous blood outflow, 1/4 "- 3/16" - arterial pump, (b)(6) 2016 "- arterial blood outlet.Checking the pre-bypass check list (service routine); preparation of priming (calculation according to the pediatric protocol of the service), and its circulation: o sodium bicarbonate, o mannitol 20%, or heparin, the fresh plasma, the plasma lyte; administered heparin and its control, act = 434 sec.Entering into ecc: arterial cannula = 12 fr and venous: vcs = 12 fr and vci = 16 fr.Vent catheterization and cardioplegia with respective control and expurgation; (7) start of patient cooling from 37°c to 32°c; first 5 minutes of ecc, without problems; (9) patient temperature approximately 21°c nasopharyngeal; difficulty in blood oxygenation: the fio2 = 40%; v / m = 0.1 l / min.And a cardiac output = 580 ml / min.Values of pao2 = 25 mmhg were verified by monitoring the cdi (previously calibrated and readjusted); rapidly, an arterial gasometry performed and fio2 flushing = 100%; the situation was proven through arterial gasometric result; situation was reversed and successful; and there was no harm to the patient.

Manufacturer Narrative

The actual device was returned to the manufacturing facility for evaluation.Visual inspection found no obvious anomalies in the appearance.The actual device was built into a circuit.The actual device after having been rinsed and dried was tested for its gas transfer performance in accordance to the factory's shipping inspection protocol.Bovine blood arranged to hb12.0 g/dl, temp.37°c., ph:7.4, svo2:65% and pvco2:45mmhg was circulated in the oxygenator module under the following conditions: @ v/q=1, fio2=100% and the flaw rate of 2l/min.And 1l/min.Result: o2 transfer: @2l/min.= 121ml/min.@1l/min.= 69ml/min.Co2 removal: @2l/min.= 101ml/min.@1l/min.= 58ml/min.No anomalies were revealed in the gas transfer performance of the actual device, with the obtained values meeting manufacturing specifications.During the above gas transfer performance test, the color of the arterial blood was compared with that of the venous blood and confirmed to be lighter than the venous blood.On september 22, 2017 it was noted this device was also the same device reported in mdr 681834-2017-00198.There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The investigation results verified the actual device was the normal product.The exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.The device labeling does address the potential for such an event in the instructions-for-use (ifu) with statements such as the following: start gas supply with v/q =1 and fio2=100, then make adjustments based on blood.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 improve the performance.Increase gas flow rate, to 5l/min for 10 seconds.Do not repeat this flushing technique, even if oxygenator performance does not improved.All available information has been placed on file in quality assurance at the manufacturing facility for appropriate tracking, trending and follow-up.
