GUILFORD, Conn.—Defibtech LLC, an automated external defibrillator (AED) manufacturer, has recalled more than 5,000 DBP-2800 battery packs used in Lifeline AEDs and ReviveR AEDs.
When the AED is used with an affected battery pack, the AED may falsely detect an error condition during charging for a shock, then cancel charge and not provide therapy, according to the company. If this situation occurs, the AED will speak “shock canceled” followed by “service code 1003” while powering off.
The recall affects 5,418 DBP-2800 battery packs shipped before June 4, 2007. The company has identified recommendations for end users to follow until the battery pack has been corrected. The recommendations are being mailed to all affected customers
