Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The baxter technician found the power cord needed to be replaced.The vest airway clearance system, model 105 was developed to provide effective airway clearance therapy.The system consists of an inflatable garment attached to an air pulse generator that rapidly inflates and deflates the inflatable garment.This causes the chest wall to be gently compressed and released, which creates airflow within the lungs.This process moves the mucus toward the large airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suctioning.This type of airway clearance therapy is referred to as high frequency chest wall oscillation (hfcwo).A search of the baxter maintenance records did not show baxter performed any preventative maintenance on this bed.It is unknown if the facility performs preventative maintenance on their beds.A replacement power cord was sent to the customer.Based on this information, no further actions are required at this time.Although there was no reported injury with this event, if the report of a damaged power cord with exposed copper wires were to recur, it could potentially cause serious injury or death.Therefore, baxter is reporting this event.
Event or Problem Description
Baxter received a report that the vest system had power cord damaged with copper wire exposed.There was no patient/user injury, medical intervention, symptom, or adverse event reported.
