Manufacturer Narrative

The reported ventilator failure could be reconstructed by means of the log file analysis.It was found that negative pressures (up to -20 hpa) and positive pressure peaks (up to 80 hpa) were alternating and finally resulted in a motor blockage leading to an emergency shutdown of the ventilator.The log file analysis has not shown any indications for a technical malfunction.As reportedly the patient was coughing at the time of event, the unstable pressure situation most likely was the result of this patient interaction.Also, the usage of a bronchial suction device or a combination of both is conceivable.To prevent from damages, the system is designed to shut down automatic ventilation and to alert the user to this condition by means of a corresponding alarm.Manual ventilation and the monitoring functions remain available to the full extent.Dräger finally concludes that the device responded as specified upon the detected situation with an autonomous shutdown while changing mode to man/spot (safety mode) accompanied by an audible and visible "ventilator fail" alarm.The device was tested and returned to use with no further problems reported.The number of similar cases, related to the same root cause, is within the expected range of the respective risk assessment and thus accepted.
