It was reported to philips that the device display heart rate does not match the acoustic signal heart rate of a patient in complete 3rd degree heart block with an effective heart rate of approximately 25 beats per minute.The patient involved was connected to the device and the patient¿s rhythm was identified as an atrioventricular block of 3rd grade.The device display showed the heart rate of 57-60 beats per minute (bpm) while the acoustic signal was heard at a rate of 25 bpm and corresponded accurately with the patient¿s actual heart rate manually obtained by the physician.The physician stated that she observed the display heart rate counted the p waves in addition to the qrs waves.Additional information has been requested.The efficia dfm100 defibrillator, model #: 866199, is substantially similar to the heartstart xl+ defibrillator (model #: 861290) and will be reported in the united states under device model #: 861290.

It was reported to philips that the device display heart rate does not match the acoustic signal heart rate of a patient in complete 3rd degree heart block with an effective heart rate of approximately 25 beats per minute.A philips field service engineer (fse) performed an operations check test.The device passed all tests.The fse was unable to reproduce the reported problem.A philips clinician reviewed the patient event file.The patient rhythm strip showed complete heart block with a ventricular rate of 20 to 25 bpm.The t wave size/height was equal to the r wave size/height and was counted as a ventricular ectopic beat, which explains the mismatch between higher heart rate displayed by the monitor and the lower auditory pulse rate heard with the pulse oximeter.The patient involved was connected to the device and the patient¿s rhythm was identified as an atrioventricular block of 3rd grade.The device display showed the heart rate of 57-60 beats per minute (bpm) while the acoustic signal was heard at a rate of 25 bpm and corresponded accurately with the patient¿s actual heart rate manually obtained by the physician.The physician stated that she observed the display heart rate counted the p waves in addition to the qrs waves.Additional information has been requested.The efficia dfm100 defibrillator, model# 866199, is substantially similar to the heartstart xl+ defibrillator (model # 861290) and will be reported in the united states under device model # 861290.
