    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    GETINGE USA SALES, LLC (IMPORTER) IS SUBMITTING THIS REPORT ON BEHALF OF MAQUET CRITICAL CARE AB (MANUFACTURER). REF. EXEMPTION #: E2018003. GETINGE USA SALES, LLC (B)(4). CONTACT PERSON: (B)(4). INVESTIGATION OF THE RETURNED EXPIRATORY PRINTED CIRCUIT (PC) BOARD HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THIS BOARD CONTAINS ELECTRONICS WHICH INCLUDE MICROPROCESSOR FOR CONTROL OF THE SAFETY VALVE FUNCTIONS IN THE INSPIRATORY SECTION OF THE DEVICE. THE REPORTED FAILURE MODE WAS CONFIRMED IN THE RECEIVED DEVICE LOGS. ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS ON THE EXPIRATORY CHANNEL PC BOARD SHOWED THAT A CAPACITOR IN THE PULL MAGNET SUPPLY CIRCUIT WAS SHORTED, WHICH CAUSED THE SAFETY VALVE TO ALWAYS BE IN OPEN STATE. A FAILURE IN THE PULL MAGNET SUPPLY CIRCUIT CAN LEAD TO STOP OF VENTILATION IF THE SAFETY VALE IS NOT IN ITS PREDETERMINED STATE. APPEARANCE OF THIS FAILURE WILL BE NOTIFIED TO THE USER BY GENERATED HIGH PRIORITY ALARMS AND A TECHNICAL ERROR CODE. IF THE FAULT IS PRESENT IT WILL BE DETECTED DURING PRE-USE CHECK. THE CONCLUSION IN THIS MATTER IS THAT THE REPORTED ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY A SHORTED CAPACITOR ON THE EXPIRATORY CHANNEL PC BOARD, THAT IS PART OF THE SAFETY VALVE FUNCTION.
