Manufacturer Narrative

The customer reported that a c500 cockpit loses the image randomly on the screen.The draeger technician evaluated the device and to resolve the issue replaced the inverter board and display.The device was tested and put back into service.The c500 is a secondary monitor used to display patient data.Primary monitoring is performed by the m540 and there was no interruption in patient monitoring.The patient data and alarms are displayed on the m540.Network connectivity is also not affected.A loss of display would be obvious to the user; the net effect is that visibility of patient data during the clinical situation of a surgery is impaired.The field failure rate of the replaced parts is inconspicuous.
