The customer reported complaint of autopulse displayed user advisory (ua) 45 (driveshaft not at "home" position after power-on/restart) error message was confirmed in the archive review, but not during the initial functional testing.The driveshaft was rotated back to home position prior to the platform evaluation.The likely root cause of the reported (ua) 45 error message was due to user error.Per the autopulse user guide instruction, to clear (ua) 45, the operator needs to pull up the lifeband until the chest bands are fully extended.This action will move the driveshaft to its home position.The user advisory will persist until the driveshaft is returned to its home position.Visual inspection of the returned platform was performed and found no physical damage.As part of routine service during testing, the platform was examined and unrelated to the reported complaint, the sticky clutch was noted.The sticky clutch plate was deburred to address the issue.The autopulse platform is a reusable device and was manufactured in april 2011 and is 7 years old, well beyond the expected service life of five years.Therefore, this type of issue is characteristic of normal wear and tear.Review of the archive data indicated the user advisory (ua) 45 error message was noted around the reported event date.The platform was tested with large resuscitation testing fixture, (lrtf) equivalent to 250 pound patient with good known test batteries until discharged and passed initial functional testing.Following the service and repair, the autopulse was tested functionally and passed successfully with no issue or faults observed.Device history record (dhr) was reviewed for service information related to the reported complaint and there was no similar complaint reported for autopulse with serial number (b)(4).
