| Issue: | We have discovered through customer feedback and internal testing that the HeartStart XL+ battery charge time to 100% capacity at 35°C (95°F) is slightly longer than the specified 3 hour duration stated in the existing product labelling. Since the XL+ can operate with a partially charged battery, there is no patient risk associated with a longer battery charge time. |
