The customer submitted a report during resuscitative efforts of a cardiac arrest patient, the tempus ls failed to provide electrical tracing and therapy through the therapy electrodes.These therapy electrodes were a new set placed after multiple defibrillations of the patient.The monitor did charge appropriately, but when the defibrillate button was pressed it failed to do so.The previously used therapy pads were reconnected to the tempus ls and functioned normally for the duration of the resuscitative effort.Philips is in the process of obtaining additional information concerning this event and the complaint is still under investigation.A final report will be submitted once the investigation is complete.
