Additional Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported to draeger that a babyroo (without the heated mattress), did not provide audible alarms for high temperature or radiant overheating which resulted in an injury.A clinician that monitored the patient after a 10-minute interval noticed a red mark on the patient's thigh.The hospital clinician stated it to be slight redness on the calf, which was resolved with a cold compress for 30 minutes.Additional information stated this was a first-degree burn on the patient's thigh which completely resolved within 12 hours with cold-water compresses.Further clarification was received that the patient had no clinical signs of overheating, and the baby was calm and asleep.The device was evaluated by a drager technician who conducted a functional test on the device.Service report and the associated checklist indicate that the function test with the skin temperature probe verified the device was working according to specifications.And a log recovery was made.The device logs were evaluated by a draeger software engineer.Considering the device tested according to specifications by the drager technician, the reviewed logs indicate low skin temperature alarms and user interaction, the skin temperature never exceeding 37.3c or reaching a temperature that would generate a high temperature alarm and the statement that there were no clinical signs of patient overheating, the exact root cause of the reported superficial skin redness is unknown at this time.The device remains in use at the customer site.The instructions for use (ifu) indicate that the alarm volume range for the babyroo is 50 to 65 db(a) and warns that if the alarm volume is too low, or if the user is too far away from the device, alarm signals may not be heard.It further cautions that patient core temperature and skin probe position should be routinely monitored, alarm limits that can be set by the user should be verified for new patients, and acoustic alarms are generated through a reserve speaker if the event of main loudspeaker failure.The complainant has been provided this information for the customer.
