(b)(4).Physio-control evaluated the customer's device and verified the reported issue.Physio-control also observed that the device was delivering monophasic energy rather than biphasic energy.The energy delivered by the device was also at a lower energy level than what was selected.The cause of the observed issue was determined to be due to a therapy harness ferrite bead being set over an integrated circuit, designator u1, in error during the manufacturing of the device.The incorrectly set therapy harness ferrite bead broke u1 legs 1 and 16 coming from the analog pcb assembly.U1 leg 16 no longer had a connection, which resulted in the device delivering a monophasic shock at a reduced energy level.The customer received a replacement device.
