MAUDE Adverse Event Report: MAQUET CRITICAL CARE AB FLOW-I C20; GAS-MACHINE, ANESTHESIA

Model Number	6677200
Medical Device Problem Code	Output Problem (3005)
Health Effect - Clinical Code	No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions (4582)
Date of Event	09/01/2025
Type of Reportable Event	Malfunction
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that while the anesthesia system was in use it generated a technical error code indicating airway pressure sensor error.There was no patient harm.Manufacturer's reference #: (b)(4).
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The investigation of this complaint has been completed.The system was investigated by our field service engineer and the reported failure was reproduced.The inspiratory pressure transducer pcb was found faulty and was replaced.The pcb was returned for investigation and the system device logs were received for evaluation.The evaluation of the received system device logs confirms the reported failure.The logs also show that the system checkout failed in the pressure transducer test due to the measured zero pressure offset for the inspiratory pressure transducer pcb being out of range; the measured zero pressure offset was 4.59 v.The pressure transducer pcb has a factory calibrated zero pressure offset value that normally is 2 ± 0.5 v.During system checkout the zero-pressure offset value is measured and if the measured value is outside the allowed limit (±300 mv from factory calibrated value) the test will fail.The returned pressure transducer pcb was simulating use tested.The reported failure was reproduced.The test log shows that the test failed due to the measured zero pressure offset for the inspiratory pressure transducer pcb being out of range.The pressure transducer pcb is part of the pressure measuring in the system.A faulty pressure transducer pcb may lead to inaccuracy in pressure measurement.This will be detected during system checkout and high priority alarms will be generated if the failure occurs during treatment.Our conclusion is that the pressure sensor on the inspiratory pressure transducer pcb was the cause of the reported failure.
