HeartSine recalls Pad-Pak defibrillator pads with damaged pins that could disrupt mechanical fit and electrical contact. Check model numbers and lots for affected units.
Due to customer complaints, defibrillator pads may contain damage pins that disrupt the mechanical fit and electrical contact.
HeartSine is recalling specific defibrillator pad packs because customer complaints indicate some units have damaged pins that may disrupt how the pads fit and connect electrically. This could lead to improper defibrillation during emergencies.
Damaged pins in the defibrillator pads can cause improper mechanical fit and electrical contact. This means the pads might not function correctly during a cardiac emergency, potentially failing to deliver a necessary shock.
Owners of HeartSine Pad-Pak defibrillator pads with model numbers PAD-PAK-01 through PAD-PAK-04J are affected. Emergency responders and medical personnel using these pads are most at risk.
Check the model number on the pad pack (PAD-PAK-01, PAD-PAK-02, PAD-PAK-03, PAD-PAK-04, PAD-PAK-07, PAD-PAK-03J, or PAD-PAK-04J). Look for specific lot numbers and unique device identifiers (UDIs) listed in the recall notice.
Identify the model number on your pad pack (PAD-PAK-01 through PAD-PAK-04J).
Check the lot numbers listed in the recall notice for affected units.
