The device was returned to zoll medical italy for evaluation.The reported malfunction has been attributed to high contact resistence within the front panel membrane.Analysis of similar reports from older devices has shown that the keys do respond; however, they need to be pushed harder to activate.Due to the fact that the device can still administer therapy, reports of this nature do not typically meet the criteria for reportability.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
