(b)(4).Field safety technician has been sent for investigation, verified the no comm error and troubleshoot system.It was determined the control board was defective.According to service order# (b)(4) the control board has been replaced.Also the service technician calibrated flow setting for use.The unit passed all functional and safety tests per factory specifications and has been already returned to customer and cleared for clinical use.The defective control board was returned for further investigation.According to investigation report# (b)(4) by life cycle engineering (maquet-rastatt) the control board (dut) was mounted into a hl20.The no com error could be reproduced.It has been detected that the odu connection was working properly.Only the communication via the din-bus was interrupted.One or more defective solder points (user error) caused most probable the interrupted communication via din-bus.Thus the failure could not be confirmed.The control board cannot be re-used.The data is also being handled through a designated maquet cardiopulmonary trending and applicable investigation process.Due to this no further investigation initiations will be completed at this time.Since the reported failure did not contribute to a death or serious injury no corrective action is needed.In addition at this time it cannot be concluded that this is a systemic error.No corrective action is needed.
