"Details of the three FDA-announced recalls "

By: Tim Erskine
PRODUCT
The LIFEPAK12 Defibrillator/Monitor. The LIFEPAK12 Defibrillator/Monitor can be used in AED mode, manual mode or advisory mode. In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 12 is intended for use by personnel who are authorized by a physician/medical director. In manual mode, the operator determines whether or not a defibrillation shock is needed by looking at the ECG rhythm display. Advisory mode can be useful during monitoring; CPSS (Continuous Patient Surveillance System) runs in the background and alerts the operator when a shockable rhythm is detected. Recall # Z-1548-2011
REASON
LIFEPAK 12 Operating Instructions that describe the process for disconnecting the device from AC (wall) power are not always being followed. When the instructions are not followed and the Power ON button is pushed within 2 seconds after disconnecting the device from AC power, the service indicator will illuminate and the device may fail to charge the defibrillator and/or initiate pacing.
