Manufacturer Narrative
|
The driver in "as received" condition passed all test sections and pressure performance metrics associated with normotensive and hypertensive settings.Additionally, during an extended observation run test, the driver performed as intended and cardiac output remained within specifications.The customer-reported issue of a fault alarm for low cardiac output could not be reproduced during investigation testing.The root cause of the customer-reported issue cannot be conclusively determined as the driver performed as intended with no evidence of a device malfunction.This issue will continue to be monitored and trended as part of the customer experience process.Syncardia has completed its evaluation and is closing this file.(b)(4) follow-up report 1.
