It was reported to vyaire medical that a patient was on the oscillator when it lost pressure and alarmed low pressure.The patient started to desaturate.End users performed manual ventilation, and saturation went back within range.An attempt was made to restart the oscillator but could not restart.Upon checking for leak, it was found that the boxed patient circuit assy, 3100a, 850s (attached to the humidifier) had popped off despite cable tie (x1) in place.An extra cable tie was added, and issue was resolved.The patient was placed back on the oscillator.Due to the incident, the patient derecruited and desaturate.Settings were increased from 50% to 80% fio2 (fraction of inspired oxygen), 18.4 cmh2o to 20 cmh2o map (mean airway pressure), and 76 to 83 amplitude.
