The actual sample was returned for evaluation.Visual inspection revealed that there was no obvious anomaly that could lead to the poor gas transfer such as a break or deformity in the appearance.The actual sample, after having been rinsed and dried, was tested for its gas transfer performance in accordance with the factory's shipping inspection protocol.Bovine blood arranged to (hb12.0 g/dl, temp.37°c., ph: 7.4, svo2: 65% and pvco2: 45mmhg) circulated in the oxygenator module under the following conditions: @ v/q=1, fio2=100% and the flow rate of 2l/min.And 1l/min.The results: o2 transfer: @2l/min.= 117ml/min.@1l/min.= 66ml/min; co2 removal: @2l/min.= 97ml/min.@1l/min.= 57ml/min.No anomalies were revealed in the gas transfer performance of the actual sample, with the obtained values meeting manufacturer specifications.Ifu states: capiox fx05 is designed to operate at blood flow rates within the range of 0.1 to 1.5 l/min.Do not use any blood flow rate outside this range.Upon patient rewarming, adjust o2 concentration, gas flow rate and blood flow rate by increasing them as needed based on an increase in patient's metabolism.Failure to adjust the gas supply and the blood flow rate appropriately may cause insufficient o2 supply needed or the amount of the patient's gaseous metabolism.Start gas supply with v/q=1 and fio2=100%, then make adjustments based on blood gas measurements.Based on the provided information and investigation results, there is no definitive evidence that this event was related to a device defect or malfunction.The investigation results verified the returned sample was of the normal product.It is likely that the oxygen supplied under the circulation conditions (e.G., flow rate, fio2, etc.) during the procedure was insufficient compared to the patient's oxygen consumption; when the patient's metabolism was activated by the rewarming, the oxygen supply became insufficient compared to the patient's oxygen consumption; or water drops were generated due to a wet lung phenomenon, the gas transfer was obstructed consequently.However, the exact cause of the reported event cannot be definitively determined based on the available information.
