Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device history records for the sam 450p device and pad-pak were reviewed and this confirmed that all manufacturing and quality checks and test had been successfully completed.The sam 450p passed ¿out qat from heartsine technologies on the 23rd january 2019.Upon receipt the green status led was failing to illuminate, as per the reported fault.A fractured solder joint on the status_led_green line of the j12 connector had resulted in the track remaining open circuit, resulting in the failure of the led to illuminate.The fault could not be replicated after the solder joint was reflowed.This confirmed the failure had been due to the fractured solder joint.Heartsine records indicate the device had performed to specification throughout out qat on the 23rd january 2019, when the operation of the green status led was verified.This would therefore indicate the solder joint had become fractured after this time.Furthermore, information from the device memory showed the device had failed one self-test due to a shock key error during a manual power cycle on the date of installation on the 3rd july 2019.The device passed all self-tests during investigation and no measurable fault was found on the unit that would indicate an issue with the shock key line.It is therefore possible that the failed self-test had been due to an external force applied to the shock button during this manual power on.The scenario was replicated during investigation.The device was temperature cycled between 0-50°c for 48 hours while performing a self-test every 20 minutes.Additional stress testing was carried out at 50°c 95%rh for 5 days while performing a self-test every 20 minutes.This combined testing equates to approximately 9.5 years of normal use without fault.It is the policy of heartsine not to refurbish devices which have been returned from the field, after investigation, therefore this device shall be scrapped and replaced with a new sam 450p.
