Manufacturer Narrative

Since there are many different reasons for cardiovascular problems/cardiac arrest during surgeries, including reasons that are independent of the device, and the information available to the manufacturer is insufficient for an assessment in this regard, the most probable root cause cannot be determined.At the time of the reporting decision the device has not yet been returned to the manufacturer for further investigations and evaluation results were not available.Therefore, the most possible root cause of the device switching off during the event could not be determined.Nevertheless, a malfunction cannot be excluded.
