Recalls naming this device
- Oct 14, 2024Class IIOpen, Classified
Within the Irish Market, a Field Safety Notice is being issued due to a select number of authorized labelled Defibtech AED Pads, which have had the authorized label removed and an unauthorized label applied, could lead to expired Defibtech AED Pads appearing as though they are within the acceptable shelf life. There is a possibility of hydrogel drying, which may result in poor electrical connection to the patient, which can reduce the energy delivered to the patient.

MalfunctionJun 8, 2016Device Operates Differently Than Expected
ON MAY 9, 2016 IT WAS REPORTED BY A PROFESSIONAL USER (EMT) THAT WHEN HE WENT TO USE A SET OF ADULT DEFIBRILLATION PADS ON A PATIENT, HE NOTICED THAT BOTH PADS HAD THE SAME RIGHT APICAL IMAGE. HE STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THE CORRECT LOCATION TO PLACE THE PADS AND THAT HE COULD HAVE USED THEM, BUT CHOSE TO USE A SPARE SET. HE PROVIDED THE ELECTRONIC DATA FROM THE AED USED DURING THE EVENT AND THE ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTRONIC DATA SHOWS THE PATIENT WAS IN AN ASYSTOLIC RHYTHM (A NON-SHOCKABLE RHYTHM) AND THAT THE AED PERFORMED AS INTENDED; NO AED MALFUNCTIONS WERE NOTED. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT WAS NOT RESUSCITATED. NO ADVERSE EVENT CODE WAS SELECTED SINCE THE PATIENT'S ECG WAS NON-SHOCKABLE AND THEREFORE THERE IS NO SUSPECTED ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE PATIENT'S DEATH AND THE USE OF THE PRODUCT.
