(b)(4).Fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) has requested for the complaint device to be returned for evaluation.F&p will provide a follow up report upon completion of f&p's investigation.Product background: the pt100 myairvo 2 humidifier (myairvo 2) is an active humidifier with integrated flow generator that delivers high flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases to spontaneously breathing patients through a variety of patient interfaces.Its intended use is for the treatment of spontaneously breathing patients who would benefit from receiving high flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases.The myairvo 2 is not intended for life support, and appropriate patient monitoring must be used at all times.The myairvo 2 speaker is intended to provide auditory alerts to the user and auditory alarms under certain conditions.The user instructions instruct the user on how to check alarm functionality before use on a patient.The user instructions warn "if either alarm signal is absent, do not use the unit.Contact your fisher & paykel healthcare representative".In the case of speaker failures, a speaker will typically provide a distorted, intermittent or reduced sound level before becoming completely inaudible over time.This contributes to the early detection of this fault by users.
