Manufacturer Narrative

The ge healthcare field engineer (fe) and hospital biomed specialist found no entries on the devices alarm logs.They performed a leak test and verified the output of sevoflurane from the tec 7 vaporizer.Both tests passed, and the fe reported being unable to reproduce the insufficient agent delivery.The device was then returned to service.It is unclear how the patient was ventilated during an mri procedure, which is not directly attended, and attempts to get further information were unsuccessful.Therefore, the contributing factors must then be attributed to either use error or a breathing circuit leak within the patient circuit.The root cause of the patient experiencing awareness is undetermined as there is no evidence of a device malfunction.Block d4: no udi as the device was manufactured prior to udi compliance requirements.
