Analysis of the provided log file revealed that the records do not cover the date of event january 23rd 2024.A log file including the date of event was requested but unfortunately was not provided.Therefore, a reconstruction of the case in question was not possible.A check of the available log file did not show any indication for a battey malfunction.During on-site inspection the technician identified that the battery was depleted.We were further informed by the customer that the battery is regularly depleted as the device is moved around and often not connected to mains power.Acc.To the ifu the atlan is not intended to be used for patient transport.Frequent use of the battery and especially recurrrent deep discharges of the battery lead to a premature aging of the battery.To obtain information about the condition of the battery the customer was asked to perform a battery test.Since now we have not received any feedback on this.Finally, due to missing information a clear statement about the root cause of the reported event could not be drawn.In case of a power supply failure or a disconnection of the device from mains supply, the device continues operation using the internal backup batteries without limitation of functionality while a power failure alarm is given.A fully charged battery will maintain operation for at least 45 minutes.The remaining capacity of the batteries is displayed on the status display and additional warnings are given when the residual battery charge is low respectively very low.If mains power supply fails and the battery is discharged, a signal tone is emitted.Manual ventilation and spontaneous breathing are still available as it was reported for the current case.
