Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported ventilator was investigated on-site by the distributor's field service engineer (fse).The fse found traces of liquid contamination inside air gas module.The device will be repaired by replacing the air gas module.The air gas module regulate the inspiratory gas flow and gas mixture.The liquid contamination in the air gas module as previous investigation has shown, had affected the delta pressure transducer on a printed circuit board inside the air gas module.The delta pressure transducer is part of the flow measuring in the gas module.The failure of the delta pressure transducer leads to inaccurate gas flow regulation which will be detected during pre-use check and alarms will be activated if the failure occurs during ventilation.According to the applicable user's manual, maximum levels of water (h2o leass than 7 g/m3) in the supplied gases to the ventilator must not be exceeded.The conclusion is that the device did not fail to meet its specification, as the most probable source of liquid contamination in the air gas module is a contaminated air gas from the hospital's central air gas system.
