The device was not returned for evaluation.Instead, a clinical data file of the event was received.The log indicates that after 30 minutes of monitoring via defibrillation electrodes, the lead view switched to lead i.The loss of the ecg signal in this case does not indicate a malfunction with the device.The user would need to switch to the "pads view" to see the ecg signal on the display.The lead view can be changed by the end user by pressing the lead select button or entering into a defib mode by pressing either the analyze, energy select, charge or shock buttons.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
