Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the m1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra system aspiration pump max 220 (pump max).During the procedure, the aspiration tubing (tubing) was inadvertently connected to the pump max rather than the pump max canister (canister).Blood was then aspirated into the pump max; therefore, the pump max was removed and not used for the remainder of the procedure.The procedure was completed using another pump.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
