    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    GE HEALTHCARE'S (GEHC) INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE IRES DEVICE. BOTH INFANTS WERE FOUND TO HAVE A PNEUMOTHORAX WHEN CHEST X-RAYS WERE PERFORMED IN THE NICU. IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER THE PNEUMOTHORAXES WERE SPONTANEOUS OR RELATED TO THE VENTILATION SUPPORT POSITIVE END-EXPIRATORY PRESSURE (PEEP) AT PEEP LEVELS CHOSEN BY THE CLINICIAN. THE IRES WAS FOUND TO BE WORKING TO SPECIFICATION WITH NO MALFUNCTIONS AND THE CLINICIANS DID NOT FEEL THAT THE DEVICE CAUSED THE PNEUMOTHORAX. THE PNEUMOTHORAX COULD HAVE BEEN SPONTANEOUS OR RELATED TO OTHER SECONDARY CAUSES OR BE IATROGENIC AND RELATED TO THE PEEP DELIVERED. AS THE CHOICE OF PEEP LEVEL IS MADE BY THE CLINICIAN, IF THE PNEUMOTHORAX WAS RELATED TO IT, SINCE THE IRES WAS WORKING TO SPECIFICATION, THE PNEUMOTHORAX COULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLICATION OF A THERAPY CHOSEN BY THE CLINICIAN AND THUS NOT CAUSED BY A GEHC DEVICE MALFUNCTION OR USE ERROR.
