Siemens has completed an investigation of the reported event.The root cause was determined to be a third-party manufacturer hardware error.The investigation showed that the problem was a hardware fault of a third-party manufacturer.The so-called "st.Jude's" cable (now abbott) was defective, which meant that the blood pressure could no longer be reliably measured and displayed.The local service technician replaced the operator's own cable and the system works as specified.A possible system error of the axiom sensis, hemo low was therefore not present.Afterwards the system worked as specified and the error has not been reported again.After detailed investigation, the incident is not classified as a reportable event as neither serious injury, death nor an unexpected prolonged hospitalization of the patient or any other person occurred or could be expected.
