The electrodes were returned to zoll medical corporation for evaluation.The returned cpr stat-padz were received with eletrodes properly placed on the release-coated styrene.Upon removal and visual inspection, the sternum pad showed gel peeling in one corner, exposing the tin beneath.Evaluation of retain samples from lot 3924d showed no issues in continuity or adhesion, and dhr review revealed no discrepancies related to gel rolling or peeling.Gel peeling may result from factors such as pads sticking to the styrene or improper electrode removal.The ifu for cpr stat-padz (aw-r2025-07 rev l) instructs the user to grasp the electrode at the red tab and peel away the plastic liner.No trend is associated with reports of this type.
