Manufacturer Narrative

The freedom driver was returned to syncardia for evaluation.The alarm history was reviewed and revealed an alarm code 'speaker 1 voltage too low when off' which is likely an alarm experienced by the customer.It can be produced during onboard battery exchange; if a battery is not fully latched in place, intermittent communication errors can result in a fault alarm.The driver passed all incoming functional test requirements as well as a battery exchange test.The driver performed as intended with no evidence of a device malfunction.This issue will continue to be monitored and trended as part of the customer experience process.Syncardia has completed its evaluation of this complaint and is closing this file.(b)(4) follow-up report 1.
