Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A thorough investigation was performed to identify the root cause of the reported issue, including a technical and clinical evaluation of this event.The engineering team determined a system temperature alert displayed options for a 30 minute delay in shutting down the system.However, the system was actually not overheating, and a power regulator board was causing a false alarm.Once the system is powered down the system can be restarted immediately to regain functionality.Therefore, either the 30 minute warning time is adequate, or it is unnecessary and, given the ability of the physician to select when the reboot occurs, the reboot time does not create incremental risk of harm to the patient.The immediate issue was resolved by restarting the system at the time of occurrence.A solution has been included in an updated software revision.
