Manufacturer Narrative
|
The reported complaint of "the blank screen or back-light illuminating on the lcd display of the autopulse platform (sn (b)(4) and after pressing the menu/mode switch button, the platform made a clicking sound and the lcd displays 'waiting to communicate' message" was confirmed during functional testing.The root cause was due to the defective processor board, most likely as a result of normal wear and tear.The autopulse platform was manufactured in june 2011 and is more than 9 years old, well beyond the expected service life of 5 years.Visual inspection of the returned platform revealed a bent battery lock.The observed physical damage was unrelated to the reported complaint, and the root cause could be due to normal wear and tear and/or due to user mishandling.The damaged battery lock was replaced to remedy the issue.The data archive could not be recovered for review due to the defective processor board.The platform failed to power on during initial functional testing due to a defective processor board.Although the customer reported problem was not exactly duplicated during the testing, the defective processor board is the root cause for all the reported issues and was confirmed during the functional testing, because the platform failed to power on.The processor board was replaced to remedy the issue.Following the service repair, the platform was subjected to the run-in test using the 95% patient large resuscitation test fixture (lrtf) with good known test batteries for 15 minutes without any fault or error.Historical complaints were reviewed for service information related to the reported complaint, and there was no previous history of complaint reported for autopulse platform with serial number (b)(4).
