Manufacturer Narrative
|
During the laboratory eval, the product surveillance tech (pst) stated the batteries were received in a severely depleted condition that is consistent with batteries having not been routinely exercised or kept charged.Due to the poor condition, no attempt to perform further testing (recharging) was performed.Permanent degradation in battery capacity has occurred.No physical damage or other anomalies observed upon receipt of batteries.The batteries measured 6.6 and 1.0 volts direct current (vdc) upon receipt using a standard high impedance multimeter.The readings both went to zero vdc when measured using the conductance meter's voltage function.The light loading of this meter was enough to draw the voltages to zero.This indicates severe depletion that is consistent with lack of battery exercise and/or regular charging maintenance and corroborates the reported complaint.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported complaint was confirmed.The batteries had not been replaced since (b)(6) 2012 and were past the two year preventive maintenance (pm) mark when they should have been replaced.The field service representative (fsr) performed pm.With new batteries installed, the fsr could not reproduce the battery issue of "not switching over to battery." the unit operated to the mfr's specifications and was returned to clinical use.No additional action wil be taken at this time.
