Manufacturer Narrative

Updated blocks: b5 and h6.The reported complaint was confirmed.During laboratory analysis, the product surveillance technician was unable to duplicate the reported complaint.The returned oxygen (o2) sensor was installed into a lab use only electronic patient gas system (epgs) and the epgs passed calibrations multiple times.Per data log analysis, on (b)(6) 2020 the gas system is successfully calibrated at 22:19:09.At 23:38:47 the gas system reported 'o2 sensor and blender disagree' (sensor = 0 %, blender = 56.0 %).This would cause an indication the gas system need to be calibrated.Calibration is attempted three times and fails each time with 'o2 sensor out of range at calib' (o2 sensor value = 0).After the system is power cycled calibration is successfully performed on (b)(6) 2020.It appears the o2 sensor had an intermittent issue causing calibration to fail.The log confirms the complaint.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
