    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE PAD DEVICE WAS INSTALLED ON (B)(6) 2009 AND OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY UNTIL (B)(6) 2010. AFTER THIS DATE THERE ARE MULTIPLE EVENTS ON THE SAME DAY WHICH WOULD INDICATE THE DEVICE WAS SWITCHING ITSELF ON AUTOMATICALLY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEVICE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO AN EXCESSIVE SOLDER WHICH WAS CAUSING AN INTERMITTENT CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO COMPONENTS IN THE SWITCHING CIRCUITRY OF THE DEVICE. THE PAD PAK, WHICH CONTAINS THE ELECTRODES AND BATTERIES, IS LABELED FOR SINGLE USE BUT THE SAMARITAN PAD 300 AND 300P DEVICES ARE FOR MULTI-USE.
