Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental medwatch report is reporting the evaluation of the device and correcting information submitted on the initial medwatch report.Evaluation results: the device was returned to zoll medical united kingdom.The customer's report was not replicated or confirmed.Review of the device log shows that ecg leads were connected at the beginning of the case and the device defaulted to auto ecg lead view since pads were not yet attached to the patient.Once pads were applied, the user did not switch the ecg view to pads resulting in the device remaining in lead view.There is also evidence that a patient impedance was acquired and an ecg signal would have been seen had the ecg view been switched to pads.The device passed full functional testing including ecg testing using the returned multifunction cable without duplicating the report.The device was recertified and returned to the customer.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
