Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event was not confirmed through functional testing of the autopulse li-ion battery ((b)(4)).Upon visual inspection no physical damage was observed and four green lights were lit on incoming inspection.During functional testing, the battery passed charging in a known good multi chemistry charger and four green lights were after the successful.Review of the archive was not performed due to unable to download the archive data.No problem was found with the battery and the battery is fully functional.The death was not related to the autopulse device.The autopulse is used as an adjunct to manual cpr in cases of clinical death.The benefit of using the autopulse is that it in part substitutes mechanical compressions for the physical labor of manual chest compressions.If the autopulse did not start or unexpectedly stops compressions, rescuer should revert to manual cpr, which is the standard of care.In this case, when autopulse platform ((b)(4)) used on an (b)(6) year old female with cardiopulmonary arrest, it suddenly powered off during active operation state.The customer changed another battery and the platform was powered on successfully.After performing compressions for an unspecified amount of time, the autopulse platform powered off again and the platform wouldn't powered on.The patient was given manual cpr immediately for 30 minutes.However, rosc was not achieved and the patient was pronounced dead at the hospital.The autopulse was intended to be used as an adjunct to manual cpr on adult patients.In case of stoppage of autopulse the user reverts to manual cpr.The transition from autopulse to manual cpr by trained users is similar to the time necessary for rescuer rotation, and presents the same workflow as manual cpr.Hence, based on available information, the patients' outcome was not negatively impacted by the interruptions when compared to standard of care manual cpr.A cardiopulmonary arrest (or circulatory arrest) is also called a cardiac arrest and indicates a sudden stop in effective and normal blood circulation due to failure of the heart to pump blood.In this event, death is attributed to out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest.Death is an expected outcome for out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest.Please see the following related mfr report: mfr # 3010617000-2018-01139 for the autopulse platform, mfr # 3010617000-2018-01144 for the 1st autopulse li-ion battery, mfr # 3010617000-2018-01145 for the 2nd autopulse li-ion battery.
