The device log was analyzed for the case in question without revealing any conspicuous entries.Only the entry that the device was powered on that day was registered.Therefore, the reported symptom of a disappeared pressure waveform could not be comprehended and finally a root cause could not be determined.During on-site evaluation the symptom was also not reproducible.In general, a leakage within the ventilator or in the breathing circuit are conceivable explanations for the reported symptom.As the symptom reportedly could not be observed anymore after the device was switched to manual and back to automatic ventilation a possible leakage maybe was troubleshooted during this process and handling.The fabius is equipped with an integrated pressure and volume monitoring.The breathing pressure monitoring windows show the breathing pressure information in numeric and graphic form.A disappeared pressure waveform is obvious for the user.During automatic ventilation "apnea" alarms are generated if the breathing pressure monitor and / or the respiratory volume monitor does not sense a valid breath for a specified period.Automatic ventilation is continued.
