Based on FDA medical device recall database.
Summary derived from FDA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by FDA
Inoperable Device - Potential for delay in therapy or prevention of defibrillation therapy due to corrosion of the Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA).
Recommended Action
Per FDA guidance
The firm contacted Customers by phone and by Urgent-Medical Device Recall letters sent via return receipt requested to their consignees on 1/8/08. The letter advised consignees that the Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBA) might not meet quality requirements. This manufacturing deviation could lead to eventual PCBA corrosion that could render the device inoperative and not ready for use in an emergency under battery power. The firm recommended keeping the unit in service until it could be replaced. Representatives will visit each consignee and replace units.
