Analysis: based on the details and correspondence with the institution the drain capacity was simply exceeded and not changed out in time to prevent the drain from overflowing.The drains in question are to be monitored to ensure proper function.Being that the patient was losing up to 900ml a day and exceeded 2.0 liters to 2.5 liters almost immediately after being mobile indicates that this patient was certainly a special case where a larger capacity drain or collection device should have been used after being mobile.The device history records were reviewed to ensure all acceptance criteria was met and all performance testing was conducted and met the product requirement.In all instances the chest drains met all criteria and there were no non-conformances related to the complaint noted.Conclusion: based on the complaint investigation results it appears as if the drain capacity was exceeded based on the condition of the patient and the frequency as to which the drain was replaced.There is no evidence that the chest drain was at fault or not working properly.Clinical evaluation: the oasis chest drainage system is indicated to evacuate air and/or fluid from the chest cavity or mediastinum and to help re-establish lung expansion and restore breathing dynamics.It also facilitates postoperative collection and reinfusion of autologous blood from the patient¿s pleural cavity or mediastinal area.The instructions for use (ifu) instruct to replace the chest drain if damaged or when collection volume meets or exceeds maximum capacity and that users should be familiar with thoracic surgical procedures and techniques before using a chest drain.
