The device was not returned to zoll medical corporation for evaluation.Instead, the device log was provided for review.Review of the device log showed a large difference between recorded defib impedance and patient impedance.This is often an indication of poor coupling to the patient.However, without receipt of the electrode pads, this cannot be confirmed.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
