Event Description

It was reported by the sales rep via email that when the surgeon was doing a shoulder arthroscopic procedure with fms duo+ pump, they heard unusual sounds from it and realized that the sound was due to the tubing hitting against the safety doors.Sales rep then tightened the outflow tubing.It was stated that the patient had started bleeding a lot.They lavaged and increased pressure but there was no clearance on the screen and this went on for several minutes.The surgeon asked sales rep to switch the pump on & off and suggested to start everything from scratch.Sales rep did that but nothing changed.Then sales rep changed the tubing as per the instructions of the surgeon but still there was no clearance on the screen.It was mentioned that the surgeon decided to do the procedure open.Additional information provided by the affiliate via email on (b)(4) 2019 reporting there was a surgical delay of 15 minutes.The affiliate also reported that the date of the event was (b)(6) 2019 and that the surgeon did an open procedure and switched off the arthroscopic machines in order to complete the procedure.It was also reported that the patient was severely bleeding and had a lot of blood clots.
