    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE PAD DEVICE WAS INSTALLED ON (B)(6) 2010 AND OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY UNTIL (B)(6) 2011. AFTER THIS DATE THERE ARE MULTIPLE EVENTS ON THE SAME DAY WHICH WOULD INDICATE THE DEVICE WAS SWITCHING ITSELF ON AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAD THE EFFECT OF DEPLETING THE PAD-PAK. THE PAD-PAK WAS COMPLETELY DEPLETED SO MUCH SO IT HAD INSUFFICIENT POWER TO ILLUMINATE THE STATUS LED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEVICE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A FAULT IN THE MEMBRANE. 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.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THERE WAS NO PATIENT INVOLVED IN THIS EVENT. THIS DEVICE MALFUNCTIONED BECAUSE THE STATUS INDICATOR WAS NOT FLASHING WHEN A PAD-PAK WAS INSERTED. A DEVICE IN THIS FAULT MODE, IF LEFT UNDETECTED COULD RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF THE DEVICE TO PERFORM AS INTENDED IF REQUIRED.
