Manufacturer Narrative

The device in question was inspected twice by ge healthcare (gehc) and no defects were found on the portholes, porthole latches, or porthole springs.When the incident occurred, there were no witnesses and the responding nurse only saw that the porthole door was open.The customer was using a quilt as a cover for the giraffe omnibed carestation but, as of the gehc site visit, had stopped use of quilts as covers.The customer alleged that fmi posters were not received; however, two separate fmi 32070-2 kits (one delivered (b)(6) 2019 and the second delivered (b)(6) 2019) each of which included 3 posters per the kit bill of materials were shipped by gehc.The customer signed and returned fmi 32070 reply form 2 on (b)(6) 2020 which indicated that they received all components of kit, including the posters.With no equipment failures and no witnesses, we are unable to conclusively identify the root cause; however, based on this investigation three potential root causes are identified; potential root causes: 1.Incomplete fmi execution by the customer, 2.Incorrect use of quilt, 3.Operator did not close door properly.
