Event Description

The customer reported that they work in conjunction with the american red cross - western blood services division in providing apheresis therapy to their patients and that they are currently in the process of certifying their own apheresis unit.The customer reported that the optia device that performs apheresis treatment alarmed for "air detected in centrifuge" while using the extension tubing set.It was found that the extension tubing set pulled air from the outside into the apheresis kit and caused the kit/plasma exchange to malfunction leaving the nurse with the option of either performing a rinseback or discontinuing the apheresis therapy.Instead, the nurse replaced the extension tubing set to a different product and the issue was resolved.There was no patient harm.
