Event Text Entries

[186144343] There was no death or device malfunction associated with the inappropriate defibrillation event. Device evaluation summary: the monitor sn (b)(4) and electrode belt sn (b)(4) have been returned to the distributor and investigation is underway. Device evaluation includes review of downloaded software flag files on the day of the event. The review of the software flags consisted of an analysis of the downloaded data to identify any fault flags or unusual patterns of software flags. The software flag files did not suggest a device malfunction that would contribute to the patient treatment. Manufacture date: monitor - (b)(4) - 12/17/2014, belt - (b)(4) - 06/29/2015. The investigation into the event concludes that there was no device malfunction. A cause and effect analysis was conducted using all of the available information which includes the incident report, device evaluation, software flag files, and ecg strips. The primary cause of the inappropriate shock was lack of response button use by the patient during the false detection. The ecg analysis, conducted by trained ecg technicians, identified the primary cause of the false detection was motion artifact. The source of the artifact could not be positively identified through cause and effect analysis. The following could not be ruled out as contributing factors: body motion, poor ecg contact with skin. Inappropriate defibrillations are an anticipated risk associated with the use of the lifevest. Patients are instructed through alarms, voice messages, ifu, and training to press the response buttons to prevent an inappropriate defibrillation. The current commercial inappropriate defibrillation rate is consistent with the observed rate during the pivotal clinical trial (b)(4) (0. 69% per patient-month with 90% confidence). A summary of the safety and effectiveness data (ssed), including the inappropriate defibrillation safety objective supporting fda's approval of the lifevest, can be found at http://www. Accessdata. Fda. Gov/cdrh_docs/pdf/p010030b. Pdf. The lifevest detection algorithm complies with iec 60601-2-4 performance requirements for sensitivity and specificity.
