Event or Problem Description
|
|
The customer contacted stryker to report that their device was missing the magnet from the lid of the device.In this state the device will not turn on automatically when the lid is activated, which can cause a delay in defibrillation therapy if needed or may lead to use error resulting in a failure to deliver defibrillation.There was no patient use reported with the event.

The customer has been provided with a replacement lid.The device nor the lid was returned to stryker for evaluation.An engineering investigation has determined that due to the design of the lpcr2 lid switch, absence of the lid magnet allows current to flow from the battery, even when the device is in standby mode.This will reduce the life of the battery.Therefore, the reported issue, the loss of lid/lid magnet, is associated with two hazardous situations: opening the lid does not turn on the device, and, higher than intended current draw while the device is in standby mode results in a prematurely depleted the battery.Replacement of the device lid so that the magnet is present in the device allows the lid switch to function as designed; turning on/off the device when the lid is opened and preventing current draw when the device lid is closed.The lpcr2 operating instructions has been updated to include additional troubleshooting tips to direct the customer to act when device behavior indicates the lid magnet may be missing.A new warning informs the customer of the risk associated with a missing magnet.H3 other text : not returned to manufacturer.

The initial medwatch report , mfr report # 0003015876-2023-02023 was submitted associating the complaint with correction/removal rpt number 3015876-01/14/2021-001-c.However this device had previously been reported to be part of this pfa under medwatch report mfr report # 0003015876-2023-01329.In the course of that investigation a new lid was provided to the customer.This replacement lid is not associated with correction/removal rpt number 3015876-01/14/2021-001-c, therefore this complaint in mfr report # 0003015876-2023-02023 was submitted incorrectly.Section h6 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) indicates: method code grid - analysis of production records; results code grid - mechanical problem identified.Conclusion code grid - cause traced to component failure.Section h6 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) should indicate: method code grid - device not returned; results code grid - no findings available; conclusion code grid - cause not established.Section h7 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) indicates: remedial action initiated - recall.Section h7 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) should indicate: remedial action initiated - blank.Section h9 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) indicates: correction/removal rpt number - 3015876-01/14/2021-001-c.Section h9 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) should indicate: correction/removal rpt number - blank.Section h10 and/or h11 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) indicates: the customer has been provided with a replacement lid.The device nor the lid was returned to stryker for evaluation.An engineering investigation has determined that due to the design of the lpcr2 lid switch, absence of the lid magnet allows current to flow from the battery, even when the device is in standby mode.This will reduce the life of the battery.Therefore, the reported issue, the loss of lid/lid magnet, is associated with two hazardous situations: opening the lid does not turn on the device, and, higher than intended current draw while the device is in standby mode results in a prematurely depleted the battery.Replacement of the device lid so that the magnet is present in the device allows the lid switch to function as designed; turning on/off the device when the lid is opened and preventing current draw when the device lid is closed.The lpcr2 operating instructions has been updated to include additional troubleshooting tips to direct the customer to act when device behavior indicates the lid magnet may be missing.A new warning informs the customer of the risk associated with a missing magnet.Section h10 and/or h11 of the initial medwatch report (mfr report #0003015876-2023-02023) should indicate: the customer has been provided with a replacement lid.The device was not returned to stryker for evaluation.The root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.
