Manufacturer Narrative

The astral device main circuit board & device data logs were returned to resmed for an investigation.Review of the device data logs revealed occurrences of the device powering down while using its internal battery, internal battery degraded warning alarms, an error message (sf180) related to a battery charger fault and an external battery communications lost alarm.Review of the device data logs could not confirm that the battery was charged to 92% when a critically low battery alarm occurred.Visual inspection of the main circuit board revealed markings around of the super capacitor terminals, however, the super capacitor test passed during testing of the device.Based on all available evidence and complaint investigations of a similar nature, the investigation determined that the device powered down while using its internal battery, internal battery degraded warning alarm and sf180 were due to an isolated component failure within the device battery assembly while the external communications lost alarm was due to a software issue.Resmed's risk analysis for this failure mode concludes that the risk is acceptable.Resmed reference#: (b)(4).
