H3: one pneupac ventilator parapac plus was returned with no physical damage found on the external of the device.The ventilator was opened and a visual inspection was conducted.The reported "loose body inside, rattling inside" issue was able to be duplicated.The issue was caused by a loose o-ring washer from the oxygen input fitting and loose packing wedges.The issue was user induced as the o-ring washer may have fallen if the oxygen input fitting was taken off.A new o-ring washer was installed and the packing wedges were refitted to resolve the issue.
