Event or Problem Description

|
The customer reported that while performing a mononuclear cell (mnc) collection procedure ona spectra optia device, the patient developed hypotension.During volume process at 1.0, the patients blood pressure (bp) decreased from 192/67 to 99/55, the rn decreased the anticoagulant (ac) infusion rate from 0.9 ml/min to 0.7 ml/min and paused the procedure.The procedure was restarted after the patient was stabilized.Approximately 9 minutes after restarting the collection, the patient's bp dropped again from 107/51 to 91/52 and then to 85/43.The operator performed rinseback, resulting in the patients bp increasing to 140/62.The customer reported that the patient received juice and (b)(6) and there were no additional boluses given to the patient for this event.Per the customer after performing rinseback, the patient is reported in 'stable' condition and went home.The customer declined to provide the patient identifier (id).Terumo bct is awaiting return of the disposable set for evaluation.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Investigation: a used optia collect set was returned to terumo bct for investigation.Upon evaluation, it was noted that blood had circulated throughout the set.The set was inspected formis-assemblies and missing parts and none were found.All clamps were inspected, and they were confirmed to be fully functional.Both saline roller clamps and inlet and return pinch clamps were in the closed position.The latch pin witness mark on the top edge of the lower hex was adjacent to the red inlet tubing indicting the loop was loaded in the centrifuge collar holder in a less than optimal position.Further evaluation of this event has determined that the device did not cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, nor is there a likely potential for death or serious injury associated with this event based on additional investigational information.During follow-up with the customer, it was reported that the stabilization that was required for the patient was the machine being paused.No medical intervention was required for this event.Investigation is in process.A follow up report will be provided.
