    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    ON (B)(6) 2010, A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST REPORTED INOMAX DS, # (B)(4) HAD ERRATIC NO READINGS. EVAL SUMMARY: THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE DELIVERY FAILURE INVOLVES FRETTING CORROSION OF CONDUCTING TRACES IN AN INTERNAL RIBBON CABLE. THE FRETTING CORROSION CAN CAUSE INTERMITTENT HIGH RESISTANCE CONNECTION TO THE CABLE'S CONNECTOR, CAUSING FLUCTUATING MONITORED (NO) READINGS. THE INTERNAL RIBBON CABLE WAS REPLACED AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THE FLUCTUATING MONITORED NO READINGS STOPPED AND WERE CORRECTED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE MONITORED NO LEVEL WOULD BE FLUCTUATING IN THIS CASE AND NOT THE ACTUAL NO DELIVERED.
