Event or Problem Description
|
|
A facility reported a sensor (id 826631) was implanted and failed three days after implantation.Fifteen minutes after postural change, the icp displayed -99.After adjusting the zero point, it displayed 198.After that, the device kept displaying the value above 50.Therefore, the device was explanted and replaced.The ct scan showed no signs of the intracranial pressure rising.In addition, the icp was displaying the normal value right before the incident.The patient did not experienced signs and symptoms due to sensor malfunction.
