Manufacturer Narrative
|
The driver in "as received" condition passed all incoming functional test requirements.Additionally, the driver was subjected to an extended 48-hour observation run where it performed as intended with no abnormalities or alarms.An alarm was only able to be reproduced when the driver was subjected to hypervolemia conditions (patient was reported to be volume overloaded), where the driver annunciated an alarm as expected when cardiac output decreased below 3.5 lpm.There was no evidence of a device malfunction and the driver performed as intended, therefore the root cause of the customer-reported alarm cannot be conclusively determined.This issue will continue to be monitored and trended as part of the customer experience process.Syncardia has completed its evaluation and is closing this file.(b)(4) follow-up report 1.
