Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
A philips field service engineer (fse) went onsite to evaluate the device in question.The fse confirmed there was no actual delay or false low reading, and the waveform was ok.The fse reported there was an inoperative message present that read, "inoperative sensor".The fse observed the sensor was being worn on the big toe and that the adapter would be slightly raised compared to a new adapter (not worn) which could be the cause of the reading errors.The infrared beam emitter and receiver may no longer be aligned when used in this manner.The customer also reported the sensor was attached to the big toe when the event occurred.The fse recommended the adapter next time be worn on the fingers (hand).The customer was provided with an extra device for back up.The key market's followed-up response confirmed the spo2 adapter was not defective.The clip was connected to the patient's big toe, which caused the reading failures.After the nurse connected the adapter to the finger, the readings were correct.Based on the information available and the testing conducted, the cause of the reported problem was confirmed to be user error.Based on the information provided in the case and by key market, it was confirmed there was no issue with the device.The clip was connected to the patient's big toe, which caused the reading failures.After the nurse connected the adapter to the finger, the readings were correct.The device remains at the customer site.No further investigation or action is warranted at this time.
