This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations.The affected sample was returned for evaluation.There were some small clots observed in the reservoir, however they were readily washed out during the bovine blood testing, otherwise there were no visual defects noted upon receipt.The returned sample was tested for clotting with bovine blood (hct 35.9% and 37.1*c) at 4 l/minute for one hour with no clotting observed in the cardiotomy portion of the reservoir.A representative retention sample from the same lot number was obtained, no visual anomalies noted.The retention sample was tested for clotting with bovine blood (hct 35.9% and 37.1*c) at 4 l/minute for one hour with no clotting observed in the cardiotomy portion of the reservoir.It is likely that patient conditions or inadequate heparinization of the patient contributed to the formations of clots within the reservoir filter.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
