Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The internal handles were returned to zoll medical corporation; the customer's report was verified.The internal paddles failed to discharge during functional testing due to the shock button being stuck.Due to the age of the internal handles (30+ months) they most likely have met their useful life and exceeded the maximum of autoclave /sterilization cycles.The internal handles were scrapped and replacements were sent to the customer.Analysis for reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
