Manufacturer Narrative

A getinge-maquet field service engineer has visited the clinic and investigated the products.No damage or malfunction was found on the table top or the table column.The used or table top 118016a2 can be moved relative to the or table column in the longitudinal direction.According to this longitudinal shift, there might be some play.This play makes the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) more difficult.In the instructions for use (ifu) the user is advised to adjust the longitudinal shift of the table top, if necessary.A way to minimize the play is to center the 118016a2 table top over the column.According to the clinic, the table top was not centered above the column, but 3/4 the way towards the head end.The clinic was familiar with the fact that the table top can be centered above the column to minimize the play and relative movement of the table top.It is possible to perform a cpr in any position without the risk of material failure.No damage or malfunction was found on the table top or the tables column.Based on the investigation we conclude that no malfunction or damage of the table has contributed to the outcome of the cpr.Concerning the code 4581 for "health effects - clinical signs and symptoms or conditions" we would like to add the following: a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) was not successful and the patient died.We do not know why the cpr was required in the first place.Getinge-maquet gmbh provides product failure investigation, analysis and resolution for the device described in this report.
