Manufacturer Narrative

The customer reported that the autopulse platform (sn (b)(6)) displayed an error message upon powering up but did not report what user advisory (ua) or fault code was displayed.The platform's archive showed that the autopulse platform displayed multiple user advisory (ua) 17 (max motor on-time exceeded during active operation) and 02 (compression tracking error) on the customer's reported event date.The observed ua17 advisory was replicated during functional testing.Device inspection revealed that the drivetrain motor brake gap was too wide (out of the specification), triggering the intermittent occurrences of the ua02 and ua17 advisory messages.Visual inspection revealed a couple of physical damages, unrelated to the reported complaint.One of the screw bosses of the front enclosure was broken/cracked.One of the head restraint wires was almost detached from the surface of the top cover, but it did not render the autopulse platform non-functional.These observed physical damages are likely attributed to wear and tear.The autopulse platform was manufactured in december 2011, and it is over 12 years old, well beyond its expected service life of 5 years.The damaged parts need to be fixed/replaced to address the observed physical damages.Further review of the archive data did not show any other user advisories or faults on the reported event date.The autopulse platform failed initial functional testing due to ua17 advisory messages, confirming the reported complaint as the archive data verified that ua17 occurred multiple times on the customer's reported event date.The ua02 was not replicated during functional testing, but its intermittent occurrences with ua17 in the archive suggest that ua02 may be related to the brake gap being too wide; however, potential drivetrain motor malfunction cannot be ruled out.The too-wide (out of the specification) brake gap will need to be adjusted within the specification to address the intermittent occurrences of the ua17 and ua02 advisory messages.If adjustment of the brake gap does not remedy the problem, the drivetrain motor assembly will be replaced.Zoll is awaiting the customer's approval for repair.Historical complaints were reviewed for service information related to the reported complaint, and no similar complaints were reported for the autopulse platform with serial number (b)(6).
