The clinical evaluation of the Sarns Air-Bubble Detector System in over 4,000 assorted operative procedures using cardiopulmonary bypass is described in this report. The system is designed to produce an alarm when a bolus of air enters the circuit. False alarms caused by electrical static within the operating room can be eliminated with a filter incorporated into the electrical circuit.
