Manufacturer Narrative
|
Per the facility's sales associate, the o2 sensor would not calibrate.It had calibrated fine previously in the day.During the read verification, there was no flow on the flow meter and a kinked line was discovered.The flow then worked fine but the o2 analyzer would not calibrate after multiple attempts.The field service representative (fsr) duplicated the issue that the gas system failed calibration.The fsr replaced the o2 sensor and preformed release testing.The unit operated to the manufacturer's specifications.The suspect device was returned to the manufacturer for further evaluation.

Event Description
|
It was reported that during set-up of the device for a cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb) procedure, the oxygen (o2) analyzer was not calibrating.As a result, an alternate device was employed.There was no blood loss, nor adverse consequences to the patient.

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated block: h6 the product surveillance technician (pst) could not duplicate the issue.The oxygen (o2) sensor was successfully calibrated and meets expectations for performance during use.No issues observed.Per data analysis on 02-nov-2020 the gas system is successfully calibrated at 08:07:03.The o2 sensor value at calibration was 1530megavolt (mv) which is a good value.At 11:31:34 calibration was attempted a second time and failed with 'flow out of range' (10.23 liters per min).Another attempt failed with 'o2 sensor out of range at calib (sensor value = 2733 mv - too high).Additional attempts failed in the same way with the sensor value being too high.It is possible a blocked line damaged the o2 sensor and the sensor should probably be replaced.The log confirms the complaint.

The reported complaint was confirmed.Per data log analysis, on (b)(6) 2020 the gas system calibrated successfully at 08:07:03.The oxygen (o2) sensor value at calibration was 1530 millivolts (mv), which is a good value.At 11:31:34 calibration was attempted for a second time and failed with a 'flow out of range' message (10.23 liters per minute).Another attempt failed with an 'o2 sensor out of range with calib' message (sensor value = 2733 mv - too high).Additional attempts failed in the same way with the sensor value being too high.It is possible the blocked line or damage to the o2 sensor and the sensor should be replaced.The log confirms the complaint.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
