Manufacturer Narrative
|
At the time of the alleged malfunction, the device was being used for clinical monitoring.The patient did not require resuscitation or other emergent care as a result of this lengthy pause event therefore the event was not consistent with a serious injury.No malfunction occurred.The patient had a lengthy pause event for which an asystole alarm was expected but only a pair pvc alarm was provided.The issue represents an application issue in that the lead chosen for monitoring had some p-waves which were tall enough to be detected as beats, thereby preventing the system from meeting the alarm criteria for an asystole event.Product labeling adequately describes how to choose an optimal lead for accurate arrhythmia monitoring.
