Defibtech Battery Pack Recall

Defibtech, LLC, is initiating a voluntary recall of 5,418 DBP-2800
Battery Packs used in the Lifeline AED® and ReviveR AEDTM
(semi-automatic external defibrillators). This recall affects all DBP-
2800 Battery Packs shipped prior to June 4, 2007. In rare instances,
when the AED is used with an affected battery pack, the AED may
falsely
detect an error condition during charging for a shock, then cancel
charge and not provide therapy. Defibtech determined the need for this
recall after learning of four reports from end users of this
malfunction
during patient use.
