Ge healthcare's gehc) investigation has been completed.Based on the event information, troubleshooting and review of the device logs, it is confirmed that there were high pressure alarms present in both manual and mechanical ventilation.It is unclear whether o2 flush presses contributed to the elevated pressure in manual mode.Gehc field engineer (fe) replaced the adjustable pressure limiting (apl) valve, though this would not resolve elevated pressures in both manual or mechanical ventilation, it was replaced as a precaution.Gehc fe was also unable to duplicate the issue.The machine worked as designed and passed all checkouts.The device logs indicated that while the breathing system was replaced during the case, they also disconnected and reconnected wall supplies.It is possible that the user did not have scavenging connected at the start of the case and connected scavenging when reconnecting the gas supplies.Therefore, the root cause cannot be determined.
