Software Defect Causes Defibrillator Recall

March 2007

DefibTech LLC has recalled two of their defibrillator models, 42,000 devices in all. The faulty defibrillators may have a software problem that does not signal low battery power until the device is drained, leaving them unable to deliver an adequate defibrillation shock.

DefibTech has identified its Lifeline AED and ReviveR AED as the defective models. These defibrillators may be found worldwide in fire stations, health clubs, hotels, and schools.

The malfunctioning product does not need to be returned to the company. Instead, DefibTech will provide a free software upgrade that can be installed by customers. The recall was prompted by three recent reports where the devices failed to perform properly.
