Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported malfunction was observed during review of the device activity logs.However, the device was put through extensive testing including bench handling and full functionality testing without duplicating a malfunction to the device.Visual inspection found evidence of fretting on the defib cable receptacle suggesting vibration and worn multifunction cable may have played a role.The defib cable receptacle was replaced and a new multi-function cable was sent to the customer as a precaution.The device was recertified and returned to the customer.Analysis of reports of this type has not identified an increase in trend.
