Event Description
|
According to customer: they claim the pump is pulling from the arterial cannula and returning to the venous cannula.When i asked if the tubing was installed to the wrong cannulas they said they were installed correctly.They also claim that the pump was reading a negative flow for a bit.When asked if they are on zero flow mode they said no, flowmeter was installed in the correct direction of flow, and global override was not active.When asked if they could go on and try to increase the rpms to overcome potential backflow they did not feel that would help.Dr.(b)(6) would like us to send this disposable back for investigation.He feels that the pump within the housing is install backwards.I told them to quarantine the disposable and await instruction.They plan to prime a new set and try again.Internal reference: (b)(4).
