Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: the customer provided photographs of the disposable set.Upon photographic inspection, it was observed that the used set contains blood and prime fluid.The set has been unloaded from the machine.Field of view is focused on the lower loop sleeve and lower bearing.The lower bearing has detached from the eared end of the lower sleeve.Ears on the sleeve show signs of damage and shearing.This evidence would suggest the lower bearing was previously attached with ears fully engaged into the windows of the bearing.The lower sleeve shows multiple circumferential grooves and gouging.Two locations in particular where circumferential grooves are present is consistent contacting the loading port of the centrifuge while the centrifuge is spinning.The evidence in this investigation is consistent with the lower hex coming out of the lower collar holder on the filler latch during the procedure.If the lower hex collar is not fully clipped into the centrifuge collar holder on the filler latch so that the locking (release) pin is fully engaged, when the centrifuge starts to spin, it can work its way loose, causing damage to the remainder of the loop assembly, including detachment of the lower bearing, and results in a leak.Per terumo bct's medical review, the device did not cause or contribute to this incident.There was no evidence of device malfunction.Terumo bct followed up with the customer.The customer was made aware of the event and provided with a retraining on the appropriate procedures.Root cause: based on the photographs provided, the root cause was determined to be an operator error in which a misload of the lower hex occurred.The locations of loop damage indicate it was not fully seated due to positioning within the collar.If the lower hex collar is not fully seated into the centrifuge collar holder on the filler latch so that the locking (release) pin is fully engaged, it can work its way loose and cause damage to the remainder of the loop assembly when the centrifuge starts to spin.This includes detachment of the lower bearing and results in a leak.
