Disconnection of Cobe SMARxT tubing from the venous outlet of the Terumo Capiox SX25RX oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass.

چکیده
The use of surface modified, biocompatible tubing in cardiopulmonary bypass has been reported to decrease the inflammatory responses caused by blood contact with the non endothelial surface of poly vinyl chloride (PVC) tubing. The combination of advances in biocompatible tubing and increased affordability resulted in a change to our cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, with the Terumo Capiox SX25 oxygenator and Cobe PVC tubing being replaced with a Terumo Capiox SX25RX (with X coating) and Cobe SMARxT tubing. Prior to the introduction of the coated oxygenator, no connection problems had been evident. One unrelated disconnection involving coated tubing was reported in June 2005 to the Australian and New Zealand College of Perfusionists Perfusion Incident Reporting System. At this time we revised all of our set up protocols and the recommended actions from manufacturers. We further report three separate incidents of pump boot disconnection from the venous reservoir outlet of the oxygenator during bypass (that occurred within a 13-month period), and an outline of immediate and prospective evaluation of the probable cause. We propose that SMARxT 3/8" x 3/32" tubing should not be used on the venous outlet connector of Terumo Capiox SX25RX oxygenators. It appears as though the design of the outlet combined with the properties of SMARxT tubing may contribute to the disconnection.

Oxygenator safety evaluation: a focus on connection grip strength and arterial temperature measurement accuracy.
This report describes the assessment of three specific safety-related specifications in the consideration of an alternate oxygenator; first the grip strength relationship between various oxygenator connectors and SMARxT tubing, second, the grip strength of various biopassive tubings and an isolated SMARxT connector, and finally, the accuracy of the arterial outlet temperature measurement. Grip ...
متن کاملAccuracy of temperature measurement in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.
Oxygenator arterial outlet blood temperature is routinely measured in the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit as a surrogate for the temperature of the arterial blood delivered to sensitive organs such as the brain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the temperature thermistors used in the Terumo Capiox SX25 oxygenator and to compare the temperature measured at the outlet of...
متن کاملClinical gaseous microemboli assessment of an oxygenator with integral arterial filter in the pediatric population.
The use of an arterial line filter (ALF) within the pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit is not a new concept. It has always presented the perfusionist with a circuit component that while valuable, increased prime volume. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the change in prime volume and emboli between a conventional oxygenator with separate ALF and a new generation oxygenator w...
متن کاملIn vitro evaluation of gaseous microemboli handling of cardiopulmonary bypass circuits with and without integrated arterial line filters.
The delivery of gaseous microemboli (GME) by the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit should be minimized whenever possible. Innovations in components, such as the integration of arterial line filter (ALF) and ALFs with reduced priming volumes, have provided clinicians with circuit design options. However, before adopting these components clinically, their GME handling ability should be assessed. Thi...
