Physio-control evaluated the customer's device and verified the reported issue.Physio found broken pieces of the device's therapy pcb assembly inside the bottom case, damage to the j2 capacitor connector, and damage to the front and top cases.The therapy pcb assembly, capacitor connector, front and top cases were replaced to resolve the reported issue.After observing proper device operation through functional and performance testing, the device was returned to the customer for use.
 
Event or Problem Description
The customer contacted physio-control to report a non-critical issue with their device.There was no report of patient use associated with the reported event.Upon evaluation by physio-control it was found that the device logged a critical event code.The event code is indicative of a device issue that could result in a partial loss of defibrillator output energy due to a loss of the negative or positive portion of the biphasic output waveform.The defibrillator output energy could be reduced by up to approximately 20% from the selected energy level.
