Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Zoll medical corporation evaluated the device and the device performed to specification.The device was recertified and returned to the customer.The ecg data from the event was returned and evaluated.Evaluation found that the presented rhythm did not match any criteria the algorithm has for shockable rhythms.The rhythm appeared to be more like pulseless electrical activity rather than ventricular fibrillation due to a non repeating rhythm that had wide peaks.Based on our review of the data we have concluded that the analysis program worked within its limitations and that there was no indication of a malfunction with the device.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
