The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that during cardiopulmonary bypass, there was plasma leakage at gas inlet and gas outlet side.Per user facility, the report documents the event and online data for a longer case with two sessions; first for approx.6.5h (including perfusion/reperfusion, etc) and second for approx.1.75h.In the second session, a plasma leakage was discovered and a second oxygenator was added after approx.0,25h perfusion time.The first session stopped @16:40 local time.The second session started @ 19:04 local time and stopped @ 20:47 local time; plasma leakage observed and 2nd oxy added.There is no act/heparin info documented since the last act value (@16:11).The plasma leakage was observed during the second session therefore it appears that the oxy was already in use (first session + standby) for approx.9h before the second session started.There was around 1 minute delay.There was less than 100ml blood loss + plasma leakage about 200ml.The product was changed out.The surgery was completed successfully.

This follow-up report is submitted to fda in accord with applicable regulations ¿ and as indicated by terumo cardiovascular systems in the initial report submitted to the fda on april 4, 2020.Upon further investigation of the reported event, the following information is new and/or changed: h6 (identification of evaluation codes 3331, 4101, 4114, 213, 67, 4315).Method code #1:3331 - analysis of production records.Method code #2: 4101 - testing of device from same lot/batch returned from user.Method code #3: 4114 - device not returned.Results code: 213 - no device problem found.Conclusions code #1: 67 - no problem detected.Conclusions code #2: 4315 - cause not established.The affected sample was not returned.However, a representative sample from the same lot was investigated for gas transfer performance per standard test method, built into a circuit with bovine blood conditioned to 37*c and hb of 12.7g/dl.The sample was determined to meet factory specifications and plasma leak was not noted during testing.It is noted that the oxygenator was used beyond the ifu recommended 6 hours.The oxygenator was used for 9 hours when the plasma leaking occurred.All available information has been placed on file in quality management for appropriate tracking, trending, and follow-up.
