CliniMACS PBS/EDTA Buffer 1L 70026Recalls & reported problems
Miltenyi Biotec B.V. & Co. KG · CliniMACS® PBS/EDTA Buffer is a single-use, sterile, isotonic buffer solution used as part of the CliniMACS CD34 Reagent System. The CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System is an in vitro medical device system used to select and enrich CD34+ cells from HPC, Apheresis while passively depleting other cells, such as CD3+ T cells, which cause graft versus host disease. The system is based on "magnetically-activated cell sorting" (MACS) employing antibodies conjugated to iron-containing particles that can be attracted to a magnetic field (referred to as “magnetic labeling”). Using the specificity of anti-CD34 antibody interaction with cell surface CD34 antigen found on hematopoietic progenitor cells, the system enriches CD34+ cells from HPC, Apheresis by passing the antibody-labeled cell suspension through a separation column with a strong magnetic gradient. The separation column retains the magnetically labeled CD34+ target cells while unlabeled cells flow through and are collected in the Negative Fraction Bag. Several automated washing steps are performed, disposing most of the liquid into the Buffer Waste Bag. The magnetically-selected CD34+ cells are released from the separation column when the magnet is disengaged, removing the magnetic field, and the target CD34+ cells are eluted into the Cell Collection Bag. · Class f

MalfunctionSep 28, 2015Material Rupture
THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT THEY FOUND A SMALL, BLACK AND RUBBER-LIKE FRAGMENT IN ONE OF THEIR CLINIMACS PBS/EDTA BUFFER BAGS 1L, AFTER SPIKING. THE DEBRIS WAS IDENTIFIED PRIOR TO CELL PROCESSING AND THEREFORE THE PATIENTS CELL PROCESSING MATERIAL FOR TRANSPLANTATION WAS NOT AFFECTED. THE SITE HAD A SPARE BUFFER ON HAND THAT WAS USED FOR THE CELL SEPARATION PROCESS. THE CELL SAMPLE WAS ADMINISTERED TO THE PATIENT. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, HARM TO THE PATIENT CAN BE EXCLUDED. THE EVENT HAPPENED AT: (B)(6).
