Event or Problem Description

|
The manufacturer received information that an alarm occurred on a trilogy 100 ventilator while in use with a patient.The patient's family reported the inspiratory pressure limit alarm wouldn't stop alarming and the ventilation rate was below the set level.The philips sales representative arrived at the patient's home and confirmed that it was observed that the value exceeds the upper limit of the inspiratory pressure during forced ventilation.Although it was only a short check, the ventilation volume reported by the family as ¿being below the set value¿ was not observed when connected to the test lung.The philips sales representative replaced the device with the same model.The patient had a drop of oxygen saturation from around 98% to 83% during the event.The patient recovered immediately on (b)(6) 2026 by performing manual ventilation with an ambu bag.Based on information available at the time of this review, there is sufficient evidence to pronounce this event as serious injury.Device evaluations and a log analysis are needed to further disposition cause/contribution of the reported adverse event.The device has not yet been returned to the manufacturer for evaluation.At this time, the manufacturer is unable to confirm the alleged malfunction.If additional information is received, a follow-up report will be filed.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The manufacturer received information that a trilogy 100 ventilator was returned to the manufacturer's service center for completion of device evaluation.On device evaluation, it was confirmed in the waveform data and the log that high inspiratory pressure alarm started occurring intermittently starting at approximately 7:02 pm on 23 march.An operational check of the device was performed with no abnormality found.Functional testing was performed with no failure of the device.Internal checking was performed with no abnormality found.The device's log was reviewed with no record(s) indicative of a device failure found.The waveform data was reviewed and it was found that the device significantly increased the inspiratory pressure to meet the ventilation volume in response to the temporary decrease in it.The inspiratory pressure then reached the upper limit of the high inspiratory pressure alarm.Therefore, a high inspiratory pressure was generated.However, it is considered that a situation in which the required ventilation volume could not be achieved occurred and persisted, and it is considered that the device failed to lower the inspiratory pressure, which led to the high inspiratory pressure alarm to persist.It has been determined that there is no abnormality in the device and that the reported issue was due to the device's operational specifications.Repair test was performed, the alarm was checked, the battery was checked and run-in testing completed.The device was confirmed to be operating properly.
