InjuryJul 19, 2022Product Quality Problem; Product Quality Problem
THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT'S CO2 WENT UP TO 12 AND THEN 20 EVEN THOUGH THE OSCILLATOR WAS ABLE TO OXYGENATE THE PATIENT, AND THIS COULD NOT BE CLEARED ON LOWER FREQUENCY OR INCREASED AMPLITUDE. ALSO, THERE WERE SEVERE "RAINOUTS" OR COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER IN WATER TRAP, TUBING AND FILTERS. THE MAP WAS FLUCTUATING, CAUSING PATIENT TO DESATURATE. END USERS IMMEDIATELY ATTENDED TO THE PATIENT AND MADE THE SITUATION SAFE BY CLEARING CONDENSATION FROM THE SYSTEM (WATER TRAP REQUIRED EMPTYING TWICE IN 4 HOURS), CHANGING TO A DIFFERENT OSCILLATOR WITHOUT A FILTER, OR PUTTING THE PATIENT BACK ONTO CONVENTIONAL VENTILATION. THE ISSUE HAVE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ((B)(4)) ON DIFFERENT OSCILLATORS. HOWEVER, CURRENT OPINION OF THE END USERS IS THAT IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE BOXED PATIENT CIRCUIT ASSY, 31A, FILTERED, 850S AS NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEM WITH OLD PATIENT SETS (NO FILTER). CO2 - CARBON DIOXIDE. MAP - MEAN AIRWAY PRESSURE.
