Event Description
|
The affiliate reported via email during the arthroscopic procedure the pump presented failure as the reservoir was completely filled, the pressure was lowered to 0 and the filter was wet.This caused discomfort in the surgeon who decided to turn off the pump and pass water directly from the bags.No patient consequences.Additional information received from the affiliate via e-mail on 12-26-2017: the device is not coming back.The failure occurs during the procedure, when the reservoir fills completely, the pressure drops to zero, causing the visual field to fill with blood and the shoulder to have severe edema.The surgical delay was about 45 minutes, while i tried to remove the water from the hoses and connect them again, having the same result.We had to pass equipment in y to pass the water directly.The procedure was completed but the surgeon was upset about what happened.When i say that the water is passed directly, i refer to the passage of water through y equipment and exerting pressure on the water bags to improve the vision of the surgical field.The patient was shoulder edema due to not having a controlled pressure during the surgery.
