    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT THE COMPANION 2 DRIVER EXHIBITED AN "EMERGENCY BATTERY ERROR" ALARM AND SCREEN FREEZE. THE PT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY SWITCHED TO A BACKUP DRIVER WITHOUT ADVERSE IMPACT. THIS ALLEGED FAILURE MODE POSES A LOW RISK TO THE PT BECAUSE THE COMPANION 2 DRIVER HAS REDUNDANT, ALTERNATE POWER SOURCES OF EXTERNAL BATTERIES AND WALL POWER. IN ADDITION, IT DOES NOT PREVENT THE COMPANION 2 DRIVER FROM PERFORMING ITS LIFE-SUSTAINING FUNCTIONS. THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY SYNCARDIA. THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE PROVIDED IN A SUPPLEMENTAL MDR.
