Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The available details indicate that the reported issue was related to the heartstart hands-free cable.The patient experienced first-degree burns over 4-4.5% and did not require medical intervention and was discharged; this does not meet the definition of a life-threatening or serious injury.First and second-degree burns are known and common risks inherent in defibrillator use during a cardioversion procedure.As such, this complaint is being updated from a serious injury to a product problem.The philips heartstart adult pads instructions for use (ifu) provide the following warning: "misuse or misapplication of any electrode pad may result in patient burns or ineffective therapy.Note: reddening of the skin is normal." a new cable was installed and the device was returned to full functionality.
