Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Physio-control evaluated the customer's device and verified the reported issue.Physio has determined that the likely cause of the reported issue was due to a field programmable gate array component (¿fpga¿) on the system pcb assembly.Timing issues in the fpga firmware may intermittently prevent a required system reboot following a defibrillator shock which results in the lockup issue.During the engineering evaluation, the device lockup condition occurred once in every 800 to 1200 defibrillator discharge cycles.New fpga firmware was installed and then proper device operation was observed through functional and performance testing.The device was returned to the customer for use.
