    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    ROUTINE TESTING CONFIRMED THAT THIS DEVICE WAS INSTALLED BY THE CUSTOMER IN (B)(6) 2010, AND THAT IT HAD PERFORMED TO SPECIFICATION UP TO (B)(6) 2012. THE INFO OBTAINED FROM THE DEVICE SHOWED THE DEVICE WAS SWITCHING ITSELF ON AUTOMATICALLY RESULTING IN MANUAL POWER-UPS OF 10 MINUTES IN DURATION OCCURRING ON (B)(6) 2012, AND CONTINUED CONSISTENTLY UP TO (B)(6) 2012. INVESTIGATION DID NOT CONFIRM A FAULT WITH THE DEVICE OR ANY COMPONENT IN THE DEVICE. THE DEVICE SWITCHING ITSELF ON IS A KNOWN SYMPTOM OF A DAMAGED OR FAULTY MEMBRANE. ALTHOUGH IN THIS EVENT THERE WAS NO FAULT MEASURED, IT IS PROBABLE THAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN CAUSED TO THE MEMBRANE, WHICH HAS AFFECTED THE DEVICE CAUSING IT TO SWITCH ITSELF ON AUTOMATICALLY. THIS CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DEPLETION OF THE PAD-PAK. THE RETURNED PAD-PAK (LOT 719) WAS FOUND NOT TO HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DEPLETED. THE PAD PAK, WHICH CONTAINS THE ELECTRODES AND BATTERIES, IS LABELLED FOR SINGLE USE, BUT THE SAMARITAN PAD 300 AND 300P DEVICES ARE FOR MULTI-USE.
