Defibrillator Recall
On August 24th 2007 Welch Allyn Protocol, Inc recalled their
MRL/Welch Allyn AED 20? Automatic External Defibrillators that were
manufactured between October of 2003 and January of 2005. These devices
are used by emergency or medical personnel to treat patients having heart
attacks. They deliver an electric shock to the heart to restore the normal
heart rhythm if needed during cardiopulmonary arrest. The serial numbers
of the Defibrillators that have been recalled are numbers 205787 through
207509.
The recall of these defibrillators was due to a malfunction where the
devices would display a ?Defib Comm? error message. This would
result in a terminal failure of the defibrillator to analyze a patients
heart rhythm and deliver the appropriate electrical shock to the heart.
The FDA has listed this as a Class 1 recall, which is the most serious
type of recall, involving situations in which there is a reasonable probability
that use of the product will cause serious injury or death.
