  • Cause
    Physio-control has become aware of an issue whereby the lifepak plus aed or lifepak express aed may fail to initiate voice prompts when the on/off button is pressed and the lid is opened due to an internal component (reed switch) that can intermittently become fixed in the closed position. the device will turn on and complete the initialisation steps, however , there are no voice prompts provided to the user and the device will enter standby mode. after 15 seconds in standby, the device will switch off. a defibrillator in this condition will fail to deliver a shock, with the potential result that therapy is not delivered and a patient is not resuscitated. all reports received from customers have been noted during initial set up and testing of the device. to date, there have been no patient related events.
