Event Description
|
It was reported the device therapy shock was not delivered to the patient.There was no harm reported.Another device was used to handle the case.Although no direct adverse event to the patient or user was reported, we are considering this to be a serious injury due to a serious deterioration in the state of health of the patient because life-saving therapy/treatment may have been interrupted/delayed.The efficia dfm100 defibrillator, model# 866199, is substantially similar to the heartstart xl+ defibrillator (model# 861290) and will be reported in the united states under device model# 861290.

This report is based on information provided by philips field service engineer (fse) and has been investigated by the philips complaint handling team.The therapy printed circuit assembly (pca) was replaced to correct the device operation.The therapy pca (part number (pn): 453564489061) with serial number (sn): (b)(6) was returned to philips for failure analysis.The pca was visually inspected for signs of wear, damage, corrosion, or missing components, and no anomalies were found.The pca under test was placed on the test fixture.The device powered up and displayed error message ¿¿therapy disabled due to system failure¿¿ ¿ ¿¿therapy controller error¿¿.A red x symbol in the rfu window indicated the device could not deliver shocks.Troubleshooting revealed that transistor q20 was missing.The transistor was replaced, and the device testing fixture was now able to pass all testing.No patient event files were able to be provided by the user to philips for evaluation.Based on the information available and the testing conducted, the therapy pca was found to be malfunctioning due to a missing transistor.The replacement of the therapy pca resolved the device problem.

Event Description

Philips received a complaint on the efficia dfm100 indicating that the device did not deliver shock.The case was supra ventricular tachycardia.Emergency cardioversion was delivered by another defibrillator and the delay in care was reported to be less than 5 minutes.Although no harm was reported by the user, given the reported clinical scenario, the reported device event will be considered an adverse event because live-saving therapy/treatment was not available, interrupted, or delayed and may have led to a deterioration in the state of the health of the patient.No harm was reported by the user.The efficia dfm100 defibrillator, model# 866199, is substantially similar to the heartstart xl+ defibrillator (model# 861290) and will be reported in the united states under device model# 861290.
