Investigation: a review of the device history record (dhr) for this unit showed no irregularities during manufacturing that were relevant to this issue.An unused trima set was returned to terumo bct for investigation.It is noted that the two white pinch clamps on the access assembly were closed upon receipt of the set, and the blue clamp was open.Visual inspection for kinks, occlusions, missing parts, mis-assembly or leaks which may have contributed to the reported incident and no anomalies were found.All pressure sensors were inspected and determined to be functioning properly.The set was loaded onto the trima machine in the lab and all on screen prompts for clamping were followed.The set passed loading, tubing set test and made it to the connect ac stage.The procedure was halted at this point and the set was unloaded.Investigation is in process.A follow-up report will be provided.This report was filed beyond the 30-day timeframe due to an internal processing error.An internal capa has been initiated to address the issue.
