Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Initially it was reported that the o2 gas module was found defective.The o2 gas module regulates the inspiratory gas flow and a faulty o2 gas module may affect the delivered volume or gas mixture (o2/air).The device was inspected by our field service engineer and reported issue was confirmed in the device's logs.However, the issue was not reproduced onsite.No part replacement was required to solve the issue.The ventilator passed all functional and safety tests and was cleared for clinical use.Flow transducer test checks the inspiratory flow transducer, calibrates and checks the expiratory flow transducer, calibrates at 60% o2 and checks at 100% and 21% o2.The cause of the issue has not been determined.
