Event or Problem Description
|
|
The customer contacted stryker to report that their service indicator is illuminated.Upon evaluation of the customer's device, stryker observed an event code logged in the device's memory that is related to a potential failure of the device to deliver defibrillation energy.Stryker also observed another event code logged in the device's memory that is indicative of a device failure that could result in a partial loss of defibrillator output energy due to a loss of the negative portion of the biphasic output waveform, resulting in a monophasic shock.Additionally, the defibrillator output energy may be reduced by up to approximately 20% from the selected energy level.As a result, the wrong defibrillation therapy would be delivered, if it were necessary.There was no patient involvement reported during the event.
