(b)(4). The complaint issue alleged by the customer was not able to be confirmed because the device has not been returned to the manufacturer for evaluation. The smartmonitor 2 (sm2) is intended for use in continuous monitoring of heart rate and respiration of infant patients in a home, hospital, or portable environment. Sm2 receives physiological signals via transducers attached to the patient and directly connected to the monitor, or from devices connected to the auxiliary inputs of the monitor. Physiological signals (patient events) and equipment events are recorded in nonvolatile memory for subsequent review and analysis by a health care professional. During monitoring, when the patient's breathing effort and heart activity are not within the set boundaries, an indicator light comes on and an alarm sounds. Patient alarm limits are set by the health care professional before the smartmonitor2 is delivered to the patient. The user manual states the following user/owner responsibilities. The respironics monitor and accessories are designed to work as described in the operator's manual. The user(s) of the equipment should not use parts that have failed, exhibit excessive wear, are contaminated, or otherwise ineffective. The monitor and its accessories should not be modified. As a general rule, the proper performance of the monitor should be verified with a respironics model 5000 simulator according to the checkout procedure manual #h580-4000-00 between each patient use or every 6 to 12 months or whichever is more frequent. Based on a complete review of the complaint allegation, chmv has determined that the reported issue requires further investigation. Once the device is returned for investigation, a follow-up, additional information report will be filed to detail the findings and the need for any possible further action.
