The ventilator was investigated by our field service engineer.No anomalies were found.The ventilator passed all functional and safety tests and was cleared for clinical use.No parts were replaced.Provided ventilator logs were reviewed.The event log contains a standby on the reported event date and time, (b)(6) 2021 at 8:45 am.The standby is preceded by a logged ¿standby button activated¿, which implies pressing the standby key by the user, followed by a logged ¿standby dialog confirmed¿ which implies pressing the option ¿yes¿ in the pop-up window whereafter the ventilator is set to the standby mode.This is an indication that the setting of the ventilator to standby mode was intentional.When the ventilator is set to standby, the indication ¿standby, patient not ventilated¿ is clearly visible on the screen and no waveforms or measured values are presented.Ventilation can then be started by pressing the start/standby key or by pressing the start ventilation touchpad on the screen.Successful pre-use check was performed prior the patient was placed on the ventilator on (b)(6) 2021 at 5:10 pm.The technical log does not contain any technical error codes to indicate a ventilator malfunction.There are no allegations from the user facility that a ventilator malfunction caused or contributed to the death of the patient.This conclusion is also supported by the log review and our field service engineer¿s examination and testing of the ventilator, which found no fault with the ventilator.
