Manufacturer Narrative

The suspect co-set cable was not returned by the facility for product evaluation.Edwards is unable to confirm or negate the customers experience without the return of the suspect device.If the product is received a supplemental report will be submitted.The device service history record report could not be completed as the correct serial/lot number is unknown.The co-set cable is utilized to detect temperature readings of the injectate fluid that assists in the calculation of cardiac output.Clinicians are well versed in understanding the technique and temperature values that are expected to obtain a correct cardiac output thermodilution curve and cardiac output value.If the temperature reading or the thermodilution curve is incorrect, the clinician will start the troubleshooting process.In this instance the clinician recognized the incorrect temperature reading.There was no incorrect treatment or patient injury noted.Complaint histories for all reported events are reviewed against trending control limits on a monthly basis, and any excursions above the control limits are assessed and documented as part of this monthly review.No actions will be taken at this time.
