Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The electrodes were returned for evaluation; the malfunction was duplicated during visual evaluation.The malfunction was attributed to a disconnected jumper wire (self test wire) on the electrode pad.This type of failure does not disable the electrode from delivering therapy when attached to a defibrillator.This is a malfunction which only impacts self-test of the electrode with the defibrillator.This type of malfunction does not pose any clinical impact and does not meet our guidelines for reportability.Analysis for reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
