| Reason/Issue |
The Terumo CDI H/S Cuvette is included in some Cardiopulmonary Bypass Packs supplied by Lovell Surgical Supplies International.
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems (Terumo CVS) has received complaints of the CDI System 500 monitor displaying the “H/S DISCONNECT AT CUVETTE” error message when the CDI H/S Cuvette does not make a proper connection to the CDI H/S Probe. In this situation, blood parameter values for HCT, Hgb, and SO2 do not display.
If failure of the CDI H/S Cuvette connection is recognised after initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the clinician will have to choose between changing out the cuvette (which requires the interruption of CPB for an indeterminate amount of time) or relying on intermittent discreet blood gas analysis values to trend Haematocrit/Saturation (H/SAT) values. |
