On removal of Maquet Quadrox-i hollow fibre oxygenator from its holder (post bypass) for disposal, the red de-airing stopcock caught loosely on the holder and became dislodged and fell onto the theatre floor. This resulted in the bloodied contents of the oxygenator quickly emptying onto the floor.

The unit was retrieved and washed through and packaged for return to Maquet. All department staff were informed of the issue recommending thorough checks during building and priming future circuits.
