Event Description

It was reported to philips the patient was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and was admitted to hospital for observation for synchronous electrical cardioversion.When the doctor ordered synchronous electrical cardioversion, the defibrillator could not discharge and repeated attempts failed, seriously delaying the treatment time.The defibrillator was replaced immediately.The replaced defibrillator could perform synchronous electrical cardioversion.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 was reported to 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.
