It was reported that intra-operatively, performed at the neck area (sensors under draping), a loss of signal was recorded for approximately 2 minutes.Once the nirs signal reappeared, a -32% decrease from baseline was observed in the right hemisphere, with no loss of signal quality.To try to correct this problem, the doctor gave ephedrine to increase mean arterial pressure (map).Although, the left hemisphere reacted adequately, the right hemisphere showed no improvement.At the end of the procedure, the anesthetist was asked to check the positioning of the electrodes.The right hemisphere electrode was found to be peeled off.This had caused disturbance of the curves despite a signal quality deemed satisfactory by the device.The customer suspected that the mild traction on the cable occurred during the emergency reintubation, resulting in electrode detachment.As the sensors were placed under sterile field, this situation was invisible during the procedure.After having repositioned the electrode, the nirs of the right hemisphere at the end of the procedure returned to a value of 70, confirming the return to normal.The baseline was set to lb 65.It was mentioned that there was no loss of iqs signal quality index.There was no patient injury.

It was reported that intra-operatively, performed at the neck area (sensors under draping), a loss of signal was recorded for approximately 2 minutes.Once the near-infrared spectroscopy (nirs) signal reappeared, a -32% decrease from baseline was observed in the right hemisphere, with no loss of signal quality.To try to correct this problem, the doctor gave ephedrine to increase mean arterial pressure (map).Although, the left hemisphere reacted adequately, the right hemisphere showed no improvement.At the end of the procedure, the anesthetist was asked to check the positioning of the electrodes.The right hemisphere electrode was found to be peeled off.This had caused disturbance of the curves despite a signal quality deemed satisfactory by the device.The customer suspected that the mild traction on the cable occurred during the emergency reintubation, resulting in electrode detachment.As the sensors were placed under sterile field, this situation was invisible during the procedure.After having repositioned the electrode, the nirs of the right hemisphere at the end of the procedure returned to a value of 70, confirming the return to normal.The baseline was set to lb 65.It was mentioned that there was no loss of signal quality index (iqs).It was also reported that the unit did not alarm.There was no patient injury.

H3 evaluation summary: medtronic conducted an investigation based upon all information received.The device was not returned, but a photo was available for evaluation.A comprehensive examination could not be performed, because the returned sample was not received in a state that allowed full functional or visual assessment.It was reported that while performing the procedure at the neck area (sensors under draping), a loss of signal was recorded for approximately two minutes.The reported issue could not be confirmed.The most likely cause could not be established from the information available.The manufacturing records for each device are thoroughly reviewed prior to release to ensure that it meets all medtronic quality specifications.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
