| Issue: | In the course of product monitoring, some cases have been reported in which the "Poti unplugged" error message was generated. In those cases an audible and visual alarm is generated, the breathing system releases pressure and the ventilation function stops operating. No patient injury has been reported due to this issue. The error message is caused by increased electrical contact resistances of the controllers (setting potentiometers). The increased resistance is caused by an oxide layer formed on the controller over a lengthy period of time. The oxide layer can only form if the controllers are rarely or never moved and according to our product monitoring, some users never, or rarely, use the FiO2 controller. |
