Manufacturer Narrative

The product was disposed off at the hospital and therefore not available for manufacturers laboratory investigation.A review for similar complaints with laboratory investigation results was performed, no similar complaint was found.According to reference complaint (b)(4) (same patient first tubing set) the patient was not anticoagulated due to fib > 1000.Also the death was attributed to patient condition.According to the ifu hls set advanced 7.0 g-670 no anticoagulation or insufficient anticoagulation caused occlusion of the extracorporeal circulation and the patient circuit.This can lead to inadequate patient support, hemolysis or thrombus formation in the patient.Thus the reported event was most probable caused by patient condition / insufficient anticoagulation and was determined to not be attributed to a device related malfunction.Based on these results and the information available at this time, the oxygenator in question operated within mcp specifications.As no device malfunction was confirmed during investigation and no systemic issue could be determined therefore no corrective action is needed at this time.
