It was reported that the display went black during a patient treatment.The getinge field service technician (fst) was sent for investigation on 2021-08-19.The fst could not reproduce the failure.All display cables were disconnected and reconnected.The customer was informed on how to adjust constrast and brigtheness in the device.The unit continued to be under observation.The fst was back on site on 2021-08-21, the failure was reproducible.The display was intermittently blank.The fst replaced the hood - hcu 30 top cover without operating panel (material 70103.4616), checked performeance of the system for more than 3 hours by achieving set max and min temp, with intermittent system reboot.All tests passed, the device is back in clinical use.In communication with the field service technician (fst) the most probable root cause for the failure "display not functioning" is a defective hood, which was no longer communicating with the pc load software.According to the hcu 30 service manual ( hcu 30 | service manual | english | 07| 6 pc load | hcu |54), with the pc load software the following procedures are performed: - softwares updates.To update display, control, safety and, if applicable rcu softwares; - calibrations.To calibrate temperature sensors, ice sensor, etc.; - loading / setting default values; - log viewer.To monitor data in the unit; - error code viewer.To show and interpret error messages; - display panel emulator.Therefore, if the hood is not communicating with the pc load software, the hcu 30 display is directly affected as no updates and calibrations can be performed.The review of the non-conformities has been performed on 2021-08-30 for the period of 2013-08-07 to 2021-08-30.It does not show any non-conformity in regard to the reported product and failure.There is no indication on manufacturing issues occurred during this time, thus production related influences are unlikely to have contributed to the reported event.The product in question was produced in 2013-08-07.The occurrence rate related to the reported issue is currently being monitored as part of maquet cardiopulmonary¿ s trending program.Additional investigations, or corrective actions, will be implemented in the event of adverse trending.The occurrence rate was calculated for the reported failure and it was determined that this is not a systemic issue.Therefore, no remedial action is required.
