| Issue: | Over time, low-frequency vibrations can cause the pins within the female connectors on the internal Motor Controller to Data Acquisition Board ribbon cable to become partially displaced, which causes momentary high resistance that interferes with data transfer. This may cause the ventilator to fail Power on Self Testing (POST) or cause Continuous Built in Test (CBIT) to detect a fault and lead to a ventilator shut down with alarm during use or during intra-hospital transport. |
