TITLE
Sorin Inspire 8F Oxygenator Detached From Holding Arm
DETAILS OF INCIDENT
  • For a period of time Sorin Inspire 8F oxygenators were arriving detached from the plastic holding arm. As a consequence the oxygenator could not be mounted either in a holder or onto the reservoir.
  • This connection should be a permanent connection.
  • We were advised by the company that as long as they did not arrive detached the bond would be secure. Two incidences then occurred where the device was checked and appeared intact but subsequently became detached - once during building and once during priming.
DETAILS OF INJURY TO PATIENT

None

TYPE OF DEVICE/MANUFACTURER

N/A

ACTION TAKEN

Supplier contacted on each occasion. This covered numerous lot numbers. After the incidences of detachment during building and priming we contacted the supplier again.

RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER

They were unable to assure us that the problem had been fully identified and resolved and could not guarantee that there was no risk of an oxygenator falling off the holder during use. We have discontinued the use of the device and all packs have been returned to Sorin.
