1 of 3 reports.Other mfg report nunbers: 3013886523-2022-00344, 3013886523-2022-00345.A facility reported a patient had been monitored for 5 days and there were no problems.The pressure was really high and they decided to perform a decompressive surgery.They zeroed the new sensor (successfully inserted it in the parenchyma) and after that the value of the icp moved from +5mmhg to -50mmhg.Immediately afterwards there was the alarm "change cable or sensor".They changed 2 sensors and 2 cables, they changed also the cerelink monitor but it still gave the same alarm.At the end they switched the cerelink off and they brought patient to the icu.After 3 hours, they switched it on and it started working correctly with icp at +14mmhg.The event led to a significant surgical delay (2 to 4 hours).
