Manufacturer Narrative

Siemens conducted a detailed investigation of the reported event.The investigation was performed on expert discussions (considering complaint description, cs (customer service) reports, and system history).In general, there are 4 pressure channels available (p1, p2, p3, and p4).These are used for invasive blood pressure monitor for diagnostic purposes.In case of the failure in any one of these pressure channels, the user can change the pressure transducer and continue the procedure within a minute.This issue can be and was identified by observing pressure waveform and can corrected by user immediately.This issue does not lead to worsening the patient condition and does not lead to death.In addition, the customer confirmed that there was no causal relationship between the patient's death and the identified sensis problem.Unfortunately, a more detailed investigation was not possible in this case because the customer cancelled an on-site inspection and repair.The occurrence rate of the reported error pattern was checked.A possible error accumulation or even a systematic error, which leads to a corrective action of the installed base, could not be determined by the investigation.The incident described in the adverse event is not classified as a reportable event after a thorough investigation because the death that occurred is not related to the product defect, nor is the product defect expected to cause serious injury, death, or unexpectedly long hospitalization to the patient, even if the defect occurs again.Internal id# (b)(4).
