Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The criticool involved in the incident has not been returned to belmont for investigation.No clinilogger data has been provided for review.There is insufficient information available to determine a potential root cause at this time.Without results of the investigation, we note the following: the criticool system is equipped with self-testing routines that continuously monitor system operation.If a system fault or malfunction is detected, a fault message appears on the display and a troubleshooting guide is provided in the user manual.The system will alarm if the patient's temperature is above 38.5 degrees c, or if the core sensor is not in place.Belmont has requested that both the unit and clinilogger data be returned for evaluation.It was reported that the unit was replaced with another criticool and the patient subsequently reached therapeutic temperature again.The manufacturing records for this serial number were reviewed and no anomalies were identified.A review of past complaints indicates that this was an isolated incident; no trend has been identified for this type of issue.A supplemental report will be submitted when additional information becomes available.
