A chemical contaminant found on the interior surface of the extracorporeal
apparatus manufactured by the William Harvey Corporation was believed to
have caused severe hematuria in 2 children. The biological activity of the
contaminant was tested by mixing 50 ml of whole blood in contaminated
cardiotomies; after 5 minutes of exposure lysis of one-sixth of the red
blood cells was found. This hemolytic agent was concluded to be bisphenol A
dissolved in an organic solvent, but the mechanism of contamination was
never found.
