The user stated that the deviation between set and delivered fio2 values was related to the knob of the dosage valve which was moving freely on its axxis.Dräger has initiated repeated requests to obtain further information but those were not responded to.Hence, it is not possible to differentiate between the most likely scenarios of either knob becoming loose over time or due to a sudden event in form of impact of too high mechanical force.The entire device has a useful product life of 7 years - the unit involved in the particular incident was in use for more than 8 years already when the event occurred.The oxygen blender is subject to re-calibration in intervals of two years, a beginning loosening of the knob will most likely be detected.It is not known due to missing feedback when the last calibration cycle was performed.
