Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report was inadvertently submitted with the incorrect device and manufacturer information.Please reference medwatch number 1220908-2022-03880 with the correct device and manufacturer information.Evaluation results:
the device was not returned to zoll medical corporation for evaluation.Instead, a photograph of the customer's report was provided.Review of the photograph did show the customer's report.However, it was determined this was an expected result given the patient preparation status.If the patient is not properly prepped there can be skin breakage during cpr as the hair is wrenched and pulled.A full dhr review for the part number and identified lots did not find any related complaints or discrepancies.The corpuls sensor has no therapy capabilities and the reddening observed cannot be from a burn from the delivery of electrical therapy.The corpuls sensor has undergone biocompatibility testing during it's design to ensure the materials being used were not likely to cause an adverse reaction.Furthermore, the benefit of providing high
quality cpr when using the zoll cpr puck vastly outweighs the risk of receiving skin irritation during the cpr process.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
