Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The electrodes were returned to zoll medical corporation and the customer's report was observed.The high voltage wire was observed to be detached consistent with the customer's report.Further investigation at the point of engagement showed evidence that the wire was crimped suggesting a force pulled it away from the connection.Review of the device history records showed that these pads passed the pull testing done during the manufacturing process prior to being released.Additionally, retained sample testing of the suspected lot number confirmed that there were no irregularities with this lot number (4416) that would have contributed to the wire being pulled away from the electrode.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
