Manufacturer Narrative

A philips product support engineer reviewed the device logs and found that they show ongoing alarms for hr > 120, and some xtachy alarms > 140.There was an xtachy alarm in effect starting at 09:18, which would have been the active alarm at the time of the reported hr of 190 bpm at 10:47 but there was already an active alarm for xtachy.It appears that this alarm was not responded to (silenced) until 11:03.There was no product malfunction as the device did alarm and is considered to be a user related issue as the alarm was not responded to (silenced) until a certain time.
