The device was returned to the u.S.Service center for evaluation and underwent a comprehensive functional inspection and performance verification.All testing was conducted in accordance with established service and test procedures.Gas-delivery accuracy, monitoring performance, and all other functional checks were confirmed to be within specification.As part of the investigation, the device log file was reviewed.The log data indicated fluctuations consistent with the hospital's report.Dose fluctuations occurring when the device is used in conjunction with the bunnell lifepulse jet ventilator are known to arise under low total volumetric flow conditions, depending on ventilator settings and patient characteristics.This failure mode has been previously identified by the manufacturer and is being addressed as part of an ongoing field correction and removal reported to the fda.
