A BiPAP A40 Pro device was returned to a third-party service center in reference to the voluntary Field Safety Notice/recall notification related to the sound abatement foam in certain CPAP, BiPAP, and mechanical ventilator devices. There is no allegation of serious or permanent harm or injury. The device was not documented to be in patient use.During the evaluation of the device, the service technician identified a ventilator inoperative error code E-47 indicating that the "CPU cannot communicate with the pressure sensor using SPI bus." The service technician states that the printed circuit assembly (PCA) board is faulty due to this error code. Additionally, the evaluation of the device data identified unrelated error codes. These error codes are consistent with normal device operation and expected use conditions and are not considered reportable under medical device reporting requirements. No evidence was identified to suggest that these error codes contributed to or caused the reported event. The field service technician identified one of these unrelated error codes as an additional cause of the PCA failure. No repair was performed. The device was scrapped by the service center
