Event Description

We are submitting this report in response to medwatch file number (b)(4).The device was not being used on patient.A healthcare worker identified the missing membrane upon visual inspection of the device and disposed of device prior to being used.Describe potentially hazardous event and potential adverse health outcome if applicable: an oxymizer pendant with missing reservoir membrane will allow some volume of oxygen from the supply source to leak out of the reservoir vents into the ambient environment.Use of an oxymizer pendant missing the membrane may cause a reduction in the net amount of supplemental oxygen delivered to the patient.A reduced amount of oxygen to the patient may result a lower than anticipated blood oxygen level.Describe any factors related to the occurrence of potentially hazardous events such as device or other product related factors or user related factors that put the population at greater risk.The presence of fire or an ignition source, such as a patient smoking while using or near the device may lead to personal injury and/or property damage.A lower than anticipated amount of delivered oxygen to a patient may result in mild, reversible conditions, such as hypoxemia, shortness of breath and/or feelings of dyspnea.Rationale for reportability assessment: in this case, there was no adverse event; the device was not used on a patient, as the missing membrane was discovered by simple visual inspection and discarded prior to use.However, in response the medwatch filing, an mdr filing is appropriate to provide details of the device and health risk.Use of an oxymizer pendant without a reservoir membrane may reduce the total amount of oxygen delivered to the patient, although a flow of oxygen will continue to be delivered to the patient.The oxymizer pendant is an oxygen accessory and is not life supporting or life sustaining.A lower than anticipated amount of delivered oxygen to a patient may result in mild, reversible conditions, such as hypoxemia, shortness of breath and/or feelings of dyspnea we are awaiting receipt of product to be evaluated for conformance.
