It was reported that the ventilator had o2 leakage.The service engineer replaced an oxygen hose.The ventilator was returned to the customer after passed functional tests.No part was returned.This concerns the gas supply outside the ventilator.The gas supply pressure is checked during pre-use check.If the o2 gas supply fails during ventilation, low o2 levels to the patient may follow and alarms will be raised if set alarm limits are violated.The conclusion is that an o2 hose in the ventilator gas supply was replaced, which resolved the problem.No technical ventilator malfunction was found.
