(b)(4).The voltage from the o2 sensor with 100% oxygen was 2.141 volts direct current (vdc), which was within specification.With the blender setpoint at 30%, the central control monitor (ccm) reported 29.5%, the external o2 analyzer showed the actual o2 as 26.3%.The srt installed a new o2 sensor, ran verification test and the unit operated to manufacturer specifications and was returned to clinical use.The suspect part was returned for further evaluation.During the laboratory evaluation, o2 sensor accuracy was not within specifications during initial testing after calibration.After 20 minutes of testing a second calibration was performed, o2 sensor accuracy was within specifications.The product surveillance technician (pst) installed the returned o2 sensor into a lab-use only (luo) epgs and connected the epgs to a system-1 simulator and ccm.He connected the epgs to o2 and air, and entered a perfusion screen on the ccm.After the 15 minute warm-up period, calibration of the o2 sensor was initiated and passed.The measurement of the direct current (d/c) output voltage from the o2 sensor at 5 liters per minute (l/min) and 100% o2 was 1.94 volts (v) which is within the specification of 0.55-2.758 volts.The pst tested the accuracy of o2% as shown in the table below: o2% set point = 100% ccm reading = 100% external analyzer reading = 97.8%; o2% set point = 80% ccm reading = 80.1% external analyzer reading = 72.2%; o2% set point = 60% ccm reading = 60.5% external analyzer reading = 55.4%; o2% set point = 40% ccm reading = 39.6% external analyzer reading = 36.4%; o2% set point = 30% ccm reading = 29.4% external analyzer reading = 26.5%; o2% set point = 21% ccm reading = 21.9% external analyzer reading = 20.4%.After 20 minutes of testing, a second calibration was performed and o2% accuracy was within specifications as shown in the table below: o2% set point = 100% ccm reading = 99.0% external analyzer reading = 97.1%; o2% set point = 80% ccm reading = 80.4% external analyzer reading = 79.0%; o2% set point = 60% ccm reading = 60.3% external analyzer reading = 59.3%; o2% set point = 40% ccm reading = 39.8% external analyzer reading = 39.3%; o2% set point = 30% ccm reading = 29.2% external analyzer reading = 29.4%; o2% set point = 21% ccm reading = 20.2% external analyzer reading = 20.6%.Specification for oxygen accuracy: +/- 3% of o2 set point; specification of ccm oxygen reading: +/- 7% of o2 set point.
