During the laboratory evaluation, the product surveillance technician (pst) observed gel had leaked out of the oxygen (o2) sensor.The o2 sensor passed calibration when installed into an electronic patient gas system (epgs).The pst wiped any excess gel that was not dry from the outside of the o2 sensor.He installed the returned o2 sensor into a lab-tested epgs and connected the epgs to a system-1 simulator and central control monitor (ccm).Connected the epgs to oxygen and air, entered a perfusion screen on the ccm.After the 15 minute warm-up period, calibration of the o2 sensor was initiated and passed.The measurement of the direct current (d/c) output voltage from the o2 sensor at 5 liters per minute (l/min) and 100% o2 was 2.04 volts which is within the specification of 0.55-2.758 volts.
