Based on the performed log file analysis, a sporadic failure of the inspiratory pressure sensor of the pcb vgc (ventilation and gas controller) was detected.Consequently, an autonomous shutdown to safety mode was initiated.The corresponding ventilator fail alarm was displayed and an acoustic alarm given.Manual ventilation as well as monitoring function remained possible.Dräger finally concludes that the device reacted as specified upon a sporadic failure of the inspiratory pressure sensor.On-site, in follow-up of the event, the dispatched draeger technician has already replaced the pcb vgc as a precautionary measure.The device was successfully tested afterwards and was returned to use without further problems reported.The number of similar cases, related to the same root cause, is within the expected range of the respective risk assessment and thus accepted.
