Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Electronic Patient Gas System (EPGS), Electronic Gas Blender, Catalog #: 801188, UDI 00886799000588. Used in cardio-pulmonary bypass.
An intermittent failure which causes a blender initialization fault upon start-up or during an EPGS calibration attempt leads to the Central Control Monitor control sliders being disabled, such that the gas system can only be controlled by the local control knobs.
