SA-- C81-- critical error-- cannulae-- 03-- checkmate by Maxim

Here's an in depth look at Harris's version of the cannulae story-- that might have led to the ATP problem-- although I'm not sure-- it's as if Harris is saying that the lack of a pressure-readable cannulae part-- whatever the hell that is-- I'm out of my league here-- resulted in the over-pressurization of C81.

CHECKMATE BY MAXIM over HARRIS--

HARRIS: Yes, I have the letter and had read it already. The EOPA cannulae were ordered and didn't work, and gave no pressure readings that were usable. At that point, the matter appears to have been dropped.

It is not true that the cannulae "didn't work" and "gave no pressure readings that were usable." I tested them, myself; Charles was there, watching. We had a disagreement as to how to simulate the patient pressure, and he finally had to admit I was right and he was wrong. (I was amused, as this was while we were still friends and I just thought he was misguided in his efforts to perform medical-related tasks.) Those cannulae are still being sold, one year later, by one of the most reliable providers of perfusion disposables in the world, Medtronic, and yet Harris has the gall to say they do not work. That's funny.
