Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The user facilty did not involve the local dräger s&s organization into any follow-up measures; a third-party service provider was instructed to do diagnosis and - if necessary - repair the device.Dräger contacted the hospital for the purpose to obtain further information.It was responded that lack of preventive maintenance was suspected to be a contributing factor in the event but additional details could not be provided by the contact person.This lack of relevant information does not allow a case-specific evaluation by the manufacturer.Dräger concludes the following: although the exact nature of the deviation remains unknown, it did not incorporate a previously unidentified or falsely assessed risk since the device posted an alarm to alert the user.There was no functional restriction described but it cannot be excluded that the ventilation performance was impaired because a temporary desaturation was reported.Further conclusions can't be made - there was no s/n transmitted and thus, age of the device and status of repairs and preventive maintenance is unknown.Neither the unique device identifier (udi) of the affected product nor the device serial number was provided to us.We will reiterate with the customer on this.If this attempt leads to an udi, we will send a follow-up report.
