Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
On-site investigation was performed by our field service engineer (fse).The claimed issue was reproduced during troubleshooting.The fse found traces of liquid contamination inside the filter's chamber of the air gas module.The final repair was performed by third party company.The air gas module regulates 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.The device's logs were not provided for further analysis.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 related to the compressor mini produced and supplied by third party company.Event site telephone: +011(086)057487089090.
