Manufacturer Narrative

Physio-control received additional patient information from the customer.The customer provided physio-control with the available patient information.Patient fields in which information is not provided were intentionally left blank.¿¿ physio control reviewed electronic patient records and the customer quality engineer performed scientific analysis.The lp1000 shock advisory algorithm measures various characteristics of an ecg to determine if a rhythm is shockable or nonshockable.These characteristics include flat content, amplitude, rate, and steepness of the slopes of the ecg.Each measurement has a corresponding threshold that demarcates shockable and nonshockable rhythms.The algorithm makes these measurements for an approximately 3-second long segment of ecg and determines if the segment is shockable or nonshockable.The algorithm repeats the process with a second segment.If the decisions from the analyses of the 1st and 2nd segments do not agree a third segment is analyzed to break the tie.A 2-out-of-3 voting scheme is used to determine the final ¿shock advised¿ or ¿no shock advised¿ decision.The file contained five sas analyses.In analysis 1-3, there was ¿no shock advised¿.In analysis 4 & 5, it was ¿shock advised¿.In analysis 1-3, the ecg rhythm had significant steep positive slope segments.This is indicative of perfusing vt.The patient rhythm had changed in analysis 4 & 5.It had characteristics of distinctive ventricular fibrillation.As such, the algorithm advised a ¿shock¿ decision.There was no device malfunction.The sas algorithm performed as intended.

There was no device malfunction and it operated as designed.The root cause of the device not shocking on the first attempt is because the sas (shock advisory system) algorithm evaluated the patient rhythm to be 'no shock advised'.The recommendations of the device do not indicate a device malfunction.This is because the shock advisory algorithm is a diagnostic test and diagnostic tests always have a level of accuracy that is less than 100% (i.E., no test is perfect).There is an acceptable level of sensitivity and specificity as set by international standards for aed performance.The established performance of the lifepak shock advisory algorithm is based on testing with large data sets and exceeds these standards.A single case such as this one does not provide evidence that the algorithm no longer meets performance standards.
