(b)(4).Method: the subject 900iw130e neopuff infant t-piece resuscitator iw module was not returned to fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) for evaluation.Our investigation is based on the information and photography provided by the customer and our knowledge of our product.Results: the customer reported that the manometer needle of the 900iw130e neopuff infant t-piece resuscitator iw module was stuck and would stay stuck at 10cmh2o.Conclusion: without the subject device, we are unable to determine the exact cause of the reported fault.The neopuff infant resuscitator is available as an integrated module inserted into the cosycot infant warmer.This allows easy access for the operator in resuscitating the patient especially during transport.The neopuff is a portable, reusable device used to assist in the delivery of respiratory breaths to infants until adequate spontaneous breathing occurs.Being a portable device, the neopuff can be susceptible to impact damage, for instance when accidentally dropped or subjected to considerable external force.The neopuff technical manual warns against dropping the neopuff or subjecting it to impact damage which may cause the unit to operate incorrectly.If the neopuff is suspected to have been damaged, the manometer and valve system should be performance tested.In addition, the neopuff user instructions state that the user should "check manometer reads zero with no gas flow" and check the pressure settings "prior to every use of the neopuff".As mentioned, the neopuff technical manual states the following: - dropping the neopuff / perivent infant resuscitator or other similar forms of impact may cause damage resulting in incorrect operation of the unit.If you suspect damage to have occurred, please perform checks as outlined [in the manual] before connection to a patient.Each neopuff unit is assembled and 100% tested in the production line to verify that each unit conforms to critical product specifications.Any unit that fails is rejected.The subject neopuff would have met the requirements at the time of production.
