Manufacturer Narrative

Per the srt, when the electronic patient gas system (epgs) was set to zero, the central control monitor (ccm) displayed a flow of 10.00 liters per minute (l/min) but an external flow meter showed 0.00 l/min.He replaced the flow meter.The unit operated to the manufacturer's specifications.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician (pst) observed the flowmeter to initially cause inaccurate ccm displays and was producing inaccurate output voltages during zero air flow.After a calibration and period of operation of a lab use only (luo) epgs with the flowmeter installed, the flowmeter was functioning normally and was producing proper output voltages.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.

The reported complaint was confirmed.Per supplier evaluation, upon power-up the devices mass flow reading was 0.53 standard liters per minute (slpm) at zero flow and well out of tolerance.This flow reading corresponds to shift in dp sensor read value of 13979 compared to original factory value of 11494.When offset shifts compensated for the device tare, as found data within tolerance, outputs checked and tracked appropriately.The sensor was discovered with defective wire bonds.Pull tests confirmed wire bonds loose and it failed pull test on the differential pressure sensor.It is believed that wire bonds are the cause of the flow offset shift of the flow meter.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
