The reported complaint of "the autopulse platform (sn (b)(6)) powered off on its own after 3 minutes and wouldn't power back on was not confirmed during the functional testing and the archive data review.The autopulse platform was powered on successfully during the testing.There were no device deficiencies found during the evaluation of the returned platform that could have caused or contributed to the reported complaint.The customer reported crack on the top cover was confirmed during the visual inspection.The probable root cause for the damage on the top cover could be due to user mishandling such as a drop.The customer reported noisy platform fan was not confirmed during the functional testing.Visual inspection was performed and found damaged front enclosure and bent battery lock clip as a result of user mishandling such as a drop, unrelated to the reported complaint.The front enclosure and bent battery lock clip was replaced to address the damage.In addition, observed the encoder drive shaft does not rotate smoothly, exhibits binding and resistance due to a sticky clutch plate, unrelated to the reported complaint.The sticky clutch plate was deburred to address the issue.The cause for the sticky clutch could be due to normal wear and tear.The autopulse platform is a reusable device and was manufactured in june 2008 and is 12 years old, well beyond the expected service life of 5 years.The platform was subjected to the run-in test using the 95% patient large resuscitation test fixture (lrtf) with good known test battery for 30 minutes without any fault or error.The autopulse platform passed the initial functional testing without any fault or error.However, the load cell characterization test revealed that one of the load cells is over-reporting, unrelated to the reported complaint.The defective load cell was likely attributed to mishandling such as a platform drop.Review of the archive data indicated multiple user advisory (ua) 12 (lifeband not present) on the customer reported event date, and the error message was cleared.The observed user advisory (ua) 12 error message is unrelated to the reported complaint.The user advisory (ua) 12 error message alerts when the lifeband is not properly installed.This can be cleared by ensuring that the lifeband is properly installed and restarting the platform.Following the service repair, the autopulse was subjected to the run-in test using the 95% patient large resuscitation test fixture (lrtf) with good known test batteries until discharged without any fault or error.
