  • Causa
    Covidien has received customer reports of the loss of graphical user interface (gui) display information while the ventilator continues to provide breath support. customer reports describe the gui display screens (both upper and lower) becoming blank during patient use. this event interferes with the clinician's ability to view and/or change ventilator setting or clinician-set patient alarm parameters. loss of gui display due to a power supply unit (psu) failure is demonstrated by the ventilator entering a “gui inop” state i.E., if the breath delivery unit (bdu) loses communication with the gui, the bdu recognises this and enters a “gui inop” state. it initiates the appropriate alarm consisting of a visible alarm indicated by the illumination of the “gui inop” red light on the bdu and a high-priority audible alarm. the source of the psu voltage loss is a specific circuit responsible solely for the gui central processing unit voltages.
  • Acción
    A Covidien representative will perform an inspection of affected ventilator(s) to determine if it has the affected component and if so, will replace defective PSU immediately. If users encounter a loss of display, they are advised to verify the patient’s respiratory and physiological stability ie, confirm the patient is receiving ventilatory support by observation of the expansion and contraction of the patient’s chest and assess current patient status by review of other monitoring (e.g., oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, etc). Also, users are advised to promptly transfer the patient to an alternate ventilator in a manner consistent with the institutional protocol and remove the affected ventilator from use until it has been serviced. This action has been closed-out on 02/02/2016.
