Mean (n = 6) number of particles released from a series of holes close to the flow and return pipes of the patient circuit. The number of particles detected after the holes had been sealed with adhesive putty is also shown. The mean number of particles detected after the holes had been sealed was similar to that detected when the valves were closed (ie, when the heater-cooler unit was not circulating water), hence an overlapping distribution.
