Manufacturer Narrative
|
The suspected defective solenoid driver board was returned to getinge's national repair center (nrc) for failure analysis.A technician inspected the board and observed visual damage to capacitor c11, and upon inspection of the board per procedure, the board was functionally equivalent to the current lowest usable revision of the released solenoid control board.In addition, the technician verified the failure of a burning smell.The burning smell was caused by capacitor c11 burning up.The technician was unable to install the board into the cardiosave test fixture to be tested.The nrc sent the board to the supplier for failure analysis per procedure.The supplier stated that the board was not repairable due to component c11 burning which caused the pad for the component to lift up.The root cause of the failure was the burnt capacitor c11.The nrc will be scrapping the board per procedure.
