No on-site investigation of the ventilator was requested.The investigation was conducted based on the provided information and the provided screenshot.Based on provided screen picture it is believed to be (b)(6) 2025.The provided logs in text format was provide did not covered the records on date of event.The provided logs revealed that the last pre-us check was performed on (b)(6) 2025.The ventilator was operating in niv nava mode, where the patient¿s diaphragmatic electrical activity is used to control ventilatory support (non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist) and niv (non-invasive ventilation) is administered without intubation or tracheotomy, utilizing a nasal mask, face mask, full-face mask, or prongs.In niv modes, the ventilator adjusts to variations in leakage to maintain the required pressure and peep levels.Excessive leakage (exceeding 75%) triggers a high-priority alarm.Ventilation automatically resumes if leakage decreases but can also be manually restarted by the user.Leakage is expected in niv modes; therefore, the ventilator features an automatic detection system for patient connection and disconnection ¿ the niv disconnection functionality.This feature detects when the patient interface is applied or removed.If disconnection is detected, the ventilator stops airflow to avoid high flows and alarms.This functionality can be configured in three ways: 1.Low flow (default setting) ¿ initiates a bias flow of 7.5 l/min to detect reconnection.Ventilation resumes when leakage is within manageable levels or when the user presses the "resume ventilation" button.2.High flow ¿ initiates a bias flow of 15 l/min (infant) or 40 l/min (adult) to detect reconnection.Ventilation resumes when leakage is within manageable levels or when the user presses the "resume ventilation" button.3.Disabled ¿ the ventilator continues delivering gas even if excessive leakage occurs.Instead of a high-priority alarm with a 10-second delay, a medium-priority alarm is triggered immediately.In this case, the niv disconnection functionality was set to low flow.If niv disconnection functionality is set to ¿disabled¿, the ventilator will continue to deliver assist even when leakage is excessive.This can be changed in the startup configuration.According to information received, the ventilator was still connected to the patient after the incident.The investigation found no evidence of ventilator malfunction during the ventilation period.The ventilator operated as expected under the given circumstances.However, alarm data suggests that ventilation became insufficient due to the chosen ventilator settings and excessive patient circuit leakage.A correction of field # d4 serial number, # d4 unique identifier (udi).Previous serial number was serial number was empty (unknown).Previous unique identifier (udi) was empty.A correction of field # h4 device manufacture date.Previous device manufacture date was empty.
