A facility reported a cerelink sensor (id: 826851) was implanted.The cerelink monitor registered multiple isolated abnormal readings, with several peaks reaching the 70 mmhg range as well as occasional low values around 3 mmhg.These events were brief and sporadic, not sustained and did not form a continuous trend in the data.No evd was implanted.Additional information: please confirm if the issue was detected before, during or after implantation: after.Did the patient experience any signs and symptoms due to product failure? unknown.Was the sensor replaced? sensor was not replaced.Was the sensor removed due to failure or monitoring was no longer needed? removed due to abnormal readings.With peaks reaching 70 mmhg.Was the integra/codman monitor connected to a patient monitor? yes.If yes, provide monitor make and model: phillips x3.Was the patient lead always connected? yes.
