Registered internally as a complaint (reference (b)(4)) for further investigation by manufacturer. Complainant did not supply specific details regarding all of patient attributes. Complainant evaluated the viking select system on site, checked the system outputs, evaluated several items, and concluded the viking select system is not the cause of the burns. A separate mdr has been created and submitted for the electrodes used, p/n 019-409000, l/n 509329 (ref mdr 3010611950-2015-00011). Electro-cautery equipment was in use by the complainant at the same time as the natus device in question. There are known risks associated with such device to device combinations where electrodes can intercept stray radio frequency energy and result in thermal heating. Natus safety information supplied to end users states such interactions exist and warns end users that electrode disconnection may be needed to avoid such interactions (ref natus safety reference guide, label #269-594705).
