Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The vest airway clearance system, model 105 was developed to provide effective airway clearance therapy.The system consists of an inflatable garment attached to an air pulse generator that rapidly inflates and deflates the inflatable garment.This causes the chest wall to be gently compressed and released, which creates airflow within the lungs.This process moves the mucus toward the large airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suctioning.This type of airway clearance therapy is referred to as high frequency chest wall oscillation (hfcwo).Baxter has contacted the customer requesting the device to be returned for inspection.The customer confirmed the power cord was disposed and no longer coming back.Based on this information, no further action is required.Although there was no reported injury with this event, if the report of a damaged power cord with exposed wires were to recur, it could potentially cause serious injury or death.Therefore baxter is reporting this event.
Event or Problem Description
Baxter received a report stating that vest, model 105 power cord was shorting with exposed copper wires.This occurred at home during patient use.There was no patient/user injury, medical intervention, symptom, or adverse event reported.
