Investigation outcome: the customer reported that after a successful pre-operation check, the t1 alarmed with exhalation obstruction and low minute volume on the patient, after which the patient was transferred to another ventilator and ventilated successfully.Log review does not confirm an event on 28-feb-2026; instead, the closest complaint-like alarm clusters occurred on 26-feb-2026, with repeated combinations of exhalation obstructed, low minute volume, vt low, high peep, disconnection on patient side, and inspiratory volume limitation, and a later similar retest sequence on 03-mar-2026 that resolved without logged technical fault.Based on the logs and the t1 manuals, the most probable root cause is a transient expiratory path obstruction, which may have involved the breathing circuit and/or occlusion of the expiratory valve bleed port.No technical fault or persistent internal device error was identified, and the ventilator later passed leak test and calibration checks.The complaint is therefore best assessed as no confirmed device malfunction, with the most probable cause being a transient expiratory obstruction condition.This case is considered as closed.
