Physio-Control recalls infant/child defibrillator electrodes with delamination risk. These electrodes may cause injury during emergency use. Affected units have specific catalog numbers and lot numbers.
Due to pediatric defibrillator electrode delamination
Physio-Control is recalling infant and child reduced energy defibrillator electrodes due to a risk of delamination. This could lead to improper defibrillation during emergencies, potentially causing serious injury to children under 8 or weighing less than 25kg.
The electrodes can delaminate, meaning the layers separate during use. This could cause improper energy delivery during a cardiac emergency, potentially leading to ineffective defibrillation and serious injury to the child.
Parents and caregivers of children under 8 years old or weighing less than 25kg (55lbs) who use these electrodes with a defibrillator. Emergency medical personnel trained in basic life support may also be affected.
Check for catalog numbers 11101-000016 or 11101-000017. Look for UDI-DI codes 00721902629013 or 00721902682483. Affected units were sold with lot numbers 315303, 315639, 315858, 316007, 320529, or 318931.
Identify your electrodes using the catalog numbers or UDI-DI codes listed in the recall notice.
