    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    ON (B)(6) 2010, A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST REPORTED THAT SHE FELT THE "NITRIC OXIDE (NO) ANALYSER READINGS WERE OFF" ON INOMAX DS, (B)(4). EVALUATION SUMMARY: ON INVESTIGATION, WE WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE REPORTED CONDITION WITH THIS DEVICE. HOWEVER, ON EXAMINATION OF THE DEVICE SERVICE LOG, FLUCTUATING MONITORED NITRIC OXIDE (NO) VALUES WERE RECORDED. SINCE FLUCTUATING MONITORED NO VALUES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN THE SERVICE LOGS OF OTHER DEVICES AND HAVE BEEN LINKED TO FRETTING CORROSION OF AN INTERNAL RIBBON CABLE, THE CABLE WAS REPLACED. THE FRETTING CORROSION CAN LEAD TO INTERMITTENT HIGH RESISTANCE CONNECTION AT THE CABLE'S CONNECTOR, LEADING TO FLUCTUATING MONITORED NO VALUES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE MONITORED NO VALUE WOULD BE FLUCTUATING IN THIS CASE AND NOT THE ACTUAL NO DELIVERED.
