Ge healthcare product engineering performed an investigation into the reported occurrence.A review of the logs showed that the system performed as designed during this event.Per the investigation, this patient case was unique in that the clinician had to balance the level of anesthesia to control the patientâ¿¿s pain and suppress movement against too much sevoflurane anesthetic agent adversely affecting the patientâ¿¿s cardiovascular system.The system logs and breath trend show no report of any anesthesia system malfunction, or ventilator or gas delivery malfunctions, or et (end-tidal) control malfunction.The root cause of this event was determined to be user error.
