The received medical opinion obtained on (b)(6), 2023, holds that the reported event falls into a description of s2 injuries at most.Additionally, the medical opinion holds that the reported treatment was not required to prevent a permanent impairment or loss of function, but rather to help expedite the recovery process or administered as standard preventative care.Therefore, this event is no longer considered mdr-reportable.The device was not returned to stryker sustainability solutions for evaluation.As the device was not returned to stryker sustainability solutions, evaluation was unable to be performed.No device information was reported and the customer did not report lot # or serial # information.Therefore, the device history record (dhr) was unable to be verified.The reported event could be attributed to: simultaneous use with incompatible equipment (as the monitor is responsible for delivering energy to the device, a faulty or incompatible monitor may deliver excessive energy to the led which may cause higher than normal temperatures at the led site) the patient has an allergic reaction to the adhesive causing a skin rash.The instructions for use (ifu) state: inspect the sensor site periodically to ensure correct sensor alignment and adhesion.Do not attempt to repair, modify, or clean sensor.When uncertain about any measurement accuracy, check the patient¿s vital signs by alternate means; then make sure then make sure the pulse oximeter is working properly.In conjunction to clinical signs and symptoms, pulse oximeter sensors are exclusively designed to be used as an adjunct in patient assessment.Sensor application errors, certain patient and ambient environmental conditions, can affect pulse oximeter¿s readings and signal.Any of the following conditions can cause inaccurate oxygen measurements failure to properly apply the sensor to the patient or to align the optical transducers application of sensor to an extremity with an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff or intravascular infusion line in place.Application of sensor to a site that is too thick, thin or deeply pigmented.Venous pulsations if the sensor or supplemental tape is wrapped too tightly.Transducer exposure to excessive light.Cover the sensor with opaque material if it is suspected that the transducer is exposed to excessive ambient light.Intravascular dyes.Excessive motion.Locate sensor at a stationary site and try to keep patient still.Plug the sensor into the pulse oximeter module and verify proper operations as described in the system operator¿s manual.If the sensor does not indicate reliable tracking of the pulse rate, relocate sensor to an alternative site or choose an alternative sensor.The reported event will continue to be monitored through post-market surveillance.Should the device become available for return, the investigation will be reopened.H3 other text : 81.
