  • Causa
    There have been reports of data entry errors that cause the system to calculate a patient total blood volume (tbv) that is abnormal for that specific patient. the error can occur under the following circumstances: ? the operator accidentally switches the values for height and weight when entering the data. ? the patient is weighed and measured in units that are different from what the operator selects when entering the data. ? the operator enters a height and a weight that are not accurate. if the operator does not enter correct data, the patient may receive excess anticoagulant (ac) or the outcome of the procedure may be affected. this issue can have the greatest effect on small or compromised patients for whom an abnormally high tbv calculation could lead to hypocalcemia.
  • Acción
    Terumo BCT is reminding all users to verify that the entered height, weight and calculated TBV are correct in order to mitigate this risk. Instructions for use and confirmation screens are displayed on the system screens before the operator starts the procedure. In addition, Terumo is developing modifications to the Spectra Optia system software to further mitigate the potential for data entry errors. When the software is available, it will be installed during a scheduled preventive maintenance visit. This action has been closed-out on 02/05/2017.
