Incorrect keypad was incorrectly installed onto a defibrillator/monitor.
Due to an error message that prevents users from utilizing carboxyhemoglobin saturation and methemoglobin saturation sensors on their monitor/defibrillator system.
Product shipped with incorrect IFU. IFU does not include proper cleaning/disinfection instructions
Due to an out of tolerance tool being used on monitor/defibrillator systems.
Due to customer complaints and out of box failures, the firm is conducting a voluntary recall as a result of product failures (cracks and over-molding separation of the sterilizable internal defibrillation paddles.
AC Power Adapter (ACPA) may not charge the monitor/defibrillator batteries and may not allow the monitor/defibrillator to power on while plugged into the ACPA.

Semi-automatic defibrillators shipped out by Stryker without battery and electrode packs.
Due to complaints received regarding missing lid magnets which may result in premature battery depletion.
Packaging of infant child reduced energy electrodes was not properly sealed.
Packaging of infant child reduced energy electrodes was not properly sealed.
Automated External Defibrillators may not detect a patient connection due to mechanical wear-through of the contact plating on the therapy connector. The wear-through could result in the device not recognizing a patient is connected which could result in a delay in treatment
Monitor/Defibrillator may not deliver a shock after the "Shock" button on the keypad is pressed as a result of oxidation that has formed over time within the button.

Certain LIFEPAK 15 Monitors/ Defibrillators were reported to experience a lockup condition after a shock was delivered. This condition is defined as a blank monitor display with LED lights on, indicating power on the device, but no response in keypad and device functions.

Physio-Control is aware that some devices have had power-related failures as customers prepared their device for initial deployment or during use within the first year of distribution. The symptoms of these failures may include unexpected power on and power off, device lock-up, or a failure to power on or off, any of which has the potential to result in a failure to deliver therapy to the patient and serious injury or death.
The infant artwork on the product instructs incorrect pad placement. Also, the artwork is missing the Type BF Patient connection and High Voltage Warning symbols.

The firm has received complaints that the LIFEPAK 1000 Defibrillator is unexpectedly powering off during device usage.
The firm has become aware of a potential device issue where the LIFEPAK 15 device may no longer be able to deliver defibrillation energy due to a potential failure of an internal component (Relay) installed on the Therapy Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA).
The End-Tidal CO2 (EtCO2) reading can intermittently show a value of XXX after start-up or during device operation.

Customer complaint was received relating to a LifePak15 device that would power on then power down unexpectedly after a short period of use. When the LP15 powered down, power could be immediately restored by activation of the power button. The device was connected to a cellular modem from MultiTech systems for use with LIFE NET services. The corrective action was completed by Velocitor Solutions in December 2010.
LIFEPAK CR Plus Automated External Defibrillators (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. 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.
The firm became aware that when using EtC02 in the kPa or % setting and in a situation where the reading is above 9.9 kPa, the display of the LIFEPAK 15 respiratory rate may partially obscure a portion of the leading digit of the EtC02 value. This affects all LIFEPAK 15 with an EtC02 feature installed and configured to the kPa or % setting.
Physio-Control has become aware of incidents where customers have attempted to use their LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator and the device has shut down unexpectedly due to a very low battery. A defibrillator in this scenario has the potential to fail to deliver a shock, with the potential result that therapy is not delivered and a patient is not resuscitated. A software malfunction in the LIFEPAK 100
The LIFEPAK 500 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) could be susceptible to malfunction due to an assembly error. If affected, the malfunction would be the result of internal shorting on a printed circuit board assembly and could render the device inoperable.
LIFEPAK CR Plus or LIFEPAK Express Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are recalled due to the potential to experience an early internal battery depletion issue.
