Hamilton medical ag received the following description:
quotation from the reporter: "on friday evening, on (b)(6) 2026, the clinical team was preparing to transport a patient for diagnostic examinations using a hamilton t1 transport ventilator when a previously observed problem recurred.The ventilator failed to ventilate the patient.The issue was detected at the patient's bedside, allowing the situation to be managed with only a minor decrease in oxygen saturation.A leak test and flow sensor test were performed again using the same breathing circuit.Both tests passed without any issues.The ventilator then began alarming for low tidal volume (vt), which was measured at only 70 ml.A volume-controlled ventilation mode was also tested; however, the ventilator was unable to achieve the desired tidal volume with a test lung.Although the tidal volume was set to 560 ml, only 440 ml was delivered, while the airway pressure increased to 33 cmh¿o." the same test was repeated using a new breathing circuit.However, the problem persisted.The patient was treated with another ventilator.
