It was reported by the affiliate that during an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair when the remote control (fms vue/nextra) was connected to a unit preoperatively, it beeped and the error code fc014 was shown in the display, when the remote control was disconnected it stopped beeping.Then again it was reconnected to the unit and the beeping recurred.The remote control (fms vue/nextra) was not used in the procedure.The fluid volume in the chamber of the inflow tubing fms vue 24pk kept increasing up to the maximum level, then the pumping stopped working.The clamp connecting the irrigated fluid was closed, but the fluid did not decreased, they had to use a second intermediary tubeset 24pk but the same issue occurred an hour later and the water did not flow, even thought the error code was not shown on the display, the unit beeped and than the irrigation stopped working.They kept using the unit with a replacing arthrex pump, the shaver without the outflow tubing, and a replacing suction tubing.There was no patient consequence, however there was a surgical delay for less than 30 minutes.No additional information was provided.
