(b)(4).Biomed replaced the cable to the affected unit and the epgs still did not function.He tried another gas mixer and it worked.The biomed spoke with manufacturer technical support and it was determined that the epgs was the issue.During the laboratory evaluation, all functions of the epgs functioned as designed during testing.The product surveillance technician (pst) connected the epgs to a system-1 simulator and central control monitor (ccm), attached oxygen (o2) and air at 50 pounds per square inch (psi), entered a perfusion screen on the ccm, and waited the 15 minute warm-up period.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 1.83 volts (v), within the specification of 0.55-2.758 v.The pst operated the epgs through its range of o2 and air with all functions operating as designed.Checked internal connections with nothing found that would cause failure.
