The report of the autopulse platform (sn (b)(4)) powering off during patient use occurring on (b)(6) 2018 was not reproduced during functional testing of platform, and could not be confirmed through review of the retrieved archive data.The archive data recorded no session around the reported event date of (b)(6) 2018.There was no device deficiency found during evaluation of the platform to indicate a functional issue.The device was functionally tested using a good known autopulse li-ion battery first with a test mannequin operating for 15 minutes and a large resuscitation test fixture for 34 minutes and operated with compression without error.A lifeband clip detect switch inspection was performed and verified that the switch is within specification.The investigation performed a load characterization check and verified that the load cells are within specification.As part of routine service during testing, the device was examined and found physical damage.This observation is unrelated to the reported event and is attributed to mishandling.After replacement of the damaged part, the platform was further functionally tested and passed full specification.Historical complaints were reviewed for service information related to the reported complaint and no similar complaint was reported for the autopulse platform with serial number (b)(4).
