The user was seeking dräger's assistance on the phone and provided a screenshot of the error log based on which dräger could establish a general diagnosis.Starting approx.One week before the date of event, and until the day the screenshot was made, the device logged 45 instances of a specific error code that points to a completely worn internal battery.The observed reboots can be explained as follows: the internal battery serves as an important fail-safe mechanism and shall thus be checked regularly; the recommended exchange interval is two years.The supervisor software of the device performs a test in regular intervals during device operation to calculate a reliable runtime forecast for battery operation.For that test, mains voltage input will be shut off for 500 milliseconds - according to the measured trends for current consumption and voltage, the battery status can be determined.However, with a completely worn internal battery the voltage drop may be that significant that sw routines become interrupted and that a reboot is required to set these back to a controlled state.The device was in use for five years at the time of event, it cannot be excluded that it was still equipped at the date of event with the first battery installed during manufacture.It is thus recommended to the hospital to make a quick check of the internal battery according to the pre-use check procedure described in the ifu and to consider further measures based on the result.
