The actual sample was received for evaluation.
Visual inspection revealed that there were no anomalies.
Saline solution was let to flow through the actual device by gravity.
Another visual inspection of the actual found that some clots had formed inside the oxygenator module.
The actual device, after having been rinsed and dried, was tested for the gas transfer performance by circulating bovine blood (@ hb12g/dl and 37ocin it, at the flow rate of 6l/min and 4l/min, under the conditions of fio2 = 100%, v/q = 1.
Both o2 transfer and co2 removal in volume were confirmed to meet manufacturer specifications.
Review of the profusion record revealed the following: after 18:44, there are some points of time when both pao2 and svo2 dropped.
Review of the events at those points of time found that the drops in pao2 and svo2 had occurred around the initiation of the extracorporeal circulation.
In the record, a star-mark was found to have been put at 20:08, when another extracorporeal circulation was started.
Pao2, which was 181mmhg at 20:08 was found to have dropped to 27mmhg at 20:09.
There was no indication of the sao2 values from 20:09 to 20:15.
A review of the device history record of the product code/lot# combination was conducted with no findings.
Ifu states: measure blood gases and make necessary adjustments as follows: control pao2 by changing concentration of oxygen in ventilating gas using gas blender.
To decrease pao2, decrease fio2.
To increase pao2, increase fio2.
There is no evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.
The investigation results verified the returned sample was of the normal product, with no anomaly with its gas transfer performance.
Based on the investigation results, it is likely that blood of which svo2 had become lower entered the oxygenator module at the initiation of the extracorporeal circulation, resulting in the dropped pao2.
However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.

The user facility reported the involved capiox pack was used during an aortic arch artery replacement case.
Due to the slow progress of the procedure, ceases and re-dos of the circulation were repeated.
After the third cease of circulation, when the circulation restarted, the o2 transfer performance became degraded.
Cooling down did not help the pao2 to be recovered.
The actual sample was changed out.
The procedure was completed successfully.
There was some blood loss due to change-out of the device.
The patient was not harmed.
