Original complaint: the biomedical engineer (bme) received a report from the nurses that this etco2 sensor was reading intermittently while in patient use.When the bme tested the sensor, it was not reading at all.No patient harm was reported.Investigation summary: as the reported device was not returned for evaluation, the reported issue could not be duplicated nor confirmed.As such, root cause cannot be determined.As the device is a sensor and cable, it is likely that the cable portion of the device has become damaged and could not longer take a reading.Cable damage can occur as a result of physical damage or wear and tear.Physical damage can occur to cables should they be bent and tugged on with excessive force resulting in internal wires breaking.Frequent pulling and bending of the cable can also cause wires to separate.Additional device information: d10 concomitant medical device: the following devices were used in conjunction with the co2 sensor kit: co2 sensor kit - part.Model #: tg-920p.Serial #: (b)(6).Device manufacturer data: 11/03/2019 (mar.11, 2019).Unique identifier (udi) #: (b)(4).Returned to nihon kohden: not returned.Udi related data quality updates.Corrected information: d1 brand name: corrected the brand name from tg-920p to cap-one.D4 additional device information / primary unique device identifier (udi) #: corrected the udi # to include the pi information.This is a correction to the suspect medical device involved in the reported event, applicable to the unique device identifier (udi) information of the fda form 3500a.
