The log file of the affected device was analysed regarding the reported event.The analysis of the log file could confirm a "device failure (14)" and derived "speaker faulty" alarm event.Both alarms were caused by a temporary impaired internal hdbaset communication between the display unit (ecd) and the ventilation unit.This symptom is characteristic for a temporary disruption of the electromechanical contact between the system cable and pba syscon ecd or a faulty system cable.In this failure mode the display functions might be impaired and/or the screen turns black.The system cable was already replaced by the dräger service.The device was tested and confirmed to be operating as per manufacturer´s specification.In case of an impaired internal hdbaset communication between the ventilation unit and the ecd the alarm message "device failure (14)" will be raised.The ventilation will be not affected and continued as set.The display functions and operability of the ecd might be affected in case of an active "device failure (14)" alarm event depending on then technical root cause.If the internal hdbaset communication fails completely, the secondary alarm (piezo speaker) of the ventilation unit will sound.Safety relevant parameters as fio2, minute volume and airway pressure are displayed on the supplemental oled-display wherein the user can observe the ongoing ventilation.The number of similar cases, related to the same root cause, is within the expected range of the respective risk assessment and thus accepted.
