The customer reported a complaint that "the autopulse platform (sn (b)(6)) did not power up using the fully charged autopulse li-ion batteries" was not confirmed during the functional testing and the archive data review.The batteries used during the reported event were not returned to zoll for investigation.No device malfunction was observed during the testing, and the autopulse platform functioned as intended using the known good test batteries.The probable root cause of the customer-reported complaint could be the battery failure.The customer reported a complaint that "the head restraint on the autopulse platform was broken," which was confirmed during the visual inspection.The photo provided by the zoll service personnel revealed that one of the head restraints was cut from the top cover of the autopulse platform.The cut head restraint does not render the autopulse platform non-functional.The patient's head restraint wire could have been cut to free the patient from the platform, or the user could have been lifting the platform by holding the head restraints, which is likely attributed to user mishandling.The top cover was replaced to address the reported complaint.Further visual inspection of the returned autopulse platform revealed a broken screw holder on the front enclosure and a hole on the load plate cover that affects the watertight seal, likely attributed to user mishandling.The observed additional physical damages are unrelated to the reported complaint.The front enclosure and the load plate cover were replaced to address the observed physical damages.In addition, unrelated to the reported complaint, the power distribution board (pdb) revision was found to be old and was replaced.The autopulse passed the initial functional test without any fault or error, and the archive data indicated no significant discrepancies.A load cell characterization test confirmed that both cell modules function within the specification.Following service, the brake gap inspection was performed and verified the brake gap was within the specification.The autopulse platform passed the final run-in test without any fault or error.
