Reason for Recall
Within the Irish Market, a Field Safety Notice is being issued due to a select number of authorized labelled Defibtech AED Pads, which have had the authorized label removed and an unauthorized label applied, could lead to expired Defibtech AED Pads appearing as though they are within the acceptable shelf life. There is a possibility of hydrogel drying, which may result in poor electrical connection to the patient, which can reduce the energy delivered to the patient.
