The field service representative (fsr) verified the reported complaint from videos sent from the perfusionist and data logs with disagreement errors.A new oxygen (o2) sensor was installed into the epgs but the issue remained.During evaluation, when gas flow got below 2 liters per minute (l/min) the fio2 would start to drop and the system would fall out of calibration.The fsr replaced the epgs and performed release testing.The unit operated to the manufacturer's specifications.
