Manufacturer Narrative
|
A getinge field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to evaluate this unit and advised that the unit was never taken out of service.The fse also stated that the unit was still in service when he first visited the site and the customer advised him that they would get back to him when they located the iabp.The fse never heard back from the customer, but went back on a later date and located the iabp in the icu storage closet.Upon evaluation of the unit, the fse was unable to reproduce the reported issue.The fse did not observe much play in the connectors, but went ahead and pulled the front cover off and tightened the ecg and bp jacks as much as possible.The fse then completed full functional testing and safety check to factory specifications.The unit passed all functional and safety tests per factory specifications and was returned to customer and cleared for clinical use.
