Event Description
It was reported that a ventilator failure occurred during use.As per report, this did not lead to any consequences for the patient.
 
Manufacturer Narrative
The reported event can be confirmed upon log file evaluation - the recorded error codes indicate that the supervisor function of the software initiated a shutdown of automatic ventilation because the ventilator piston has reached the end position at a time it should not.The piston hub is an equivalent to the volume the ventilator applies and, to protect from potentially hazardous output and/or from serious damages to the ventilator unit the device is designed to shut down automatic ventilation and to post a corresponding alarm; manual ventilation is further available as well as the monitoring functions of the device are.The triggering condition for the error is either to be associated with the motor itself or with the position detection system.The involved device is almost 12 years old, it cannot be excluded that wear and tear of the motor has resulted in speed fluctuations and thus, to a divergence between calculated and measured piston position.On the other hand, it would be imaginable that dust particles on the encoder disc may have disturbed the optical position detection.The local s&s organization will be advised to replace the entire ventilator unit including position detection system to put back the device into fully operable condition.Dräger finally concludes that the device behaved as designed for this specific error condition; the issue does not incorporate a previously unidentified or falsely assessed risk.
