The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that prior to cardiopulmonary bypass, during prime, a loud squealing noise was emanating form the pump head.The perfusionist added albumin to the prime solution which slowly eliminates the noise.Upon inspection on the back side of the centrifugal pump head, the perfusionist saw what appeared to be some debris inside the housing near the magnets of the pump head.No patient involvement as this occurred during prime.Product was changed out.Procedure was completed successfully.

This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on june 27, 2018.(b)(4).Visual inspection was performed on the sample during which no anomalies noted on the device.The sample was built into a saline circuit and then set up on a sarns drive motor.The rpm were set at 900 and ramped up by 300 rpm every ten minutes for one hour for a maximum of 2400 rpm.During each interval, it was observed for any running sound anomalies, and no abnormalities with the functionality were observed during the test.A retention sample for the affected product code/lot number was obtained and tested the same way; no sound anomalies noted.The noise was not able to be replicated on the complaint sample as well as with the retention sample; however, the issue experienced by the customer is likely due to an abnormal interaction between the seal rotor and stator surfaces.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
