Device evaluation summary: the ht70 ventilator was returned for failure investigation.The reported symptom could not be duplicated, but a different symptom was observed.The ventilator was powered up and successfully completed the power on self test.The log files were exported.After reviewing the event history, all "power up" events were preceded by "power down" events, indicating that the device did not reset during operation.The device was allowed to ventilate for approximately 5 days.Throughout the duration of ventilation, all 4 measured signals remained stable and did not attenuate.No errors or alarms were observed.However, during operation, the pump was observed to emit a squeaking sound.Upon further inspection of the pump, no damaged piston bearings or debris was observed.The abnormal sound was likely to be caused by a check valve not being seated properly.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
