    DEVICE EVAL SUMMARY: DEVICE EVAL OF BATTERY CHARGER (B)(4) HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE REPORTED PROBLEM WAS CONFIRMED. THE BATTERY CHARGER WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND WOULD NOT CHARGE THE PT'S BATTERY PACKS. UPON EVAL, THE POWER CONNECTOR ON THE CHARGER WAS LOOSE, NOT ALLOWING THE CHARGER TO POWER ON. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE LOOSE CONNECTOR CANNOT BE POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED, BUT WAS LIKELY A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE FORCE. ONCE THE POWER BRICK WAS REPLACED, THE CHARGER WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. NO ADVERSE EVENT RESULTED FROM THE INTERMITTENT BATTERY CHARGER. THE PT RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT BATTERY CHARGER.
