Defibtech recalls DDP-100 adult defibrillation pads sold in Ireland with unauthorized labels that may appear expired but could cause poor electrical connection during cardiac arrest.
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.
Defibtech is recalling DDP-100 adult defibrillation pads sold in Ireland that have been mislabeled. This could lead to expired pads appearing functional, potentially reducing shock effectiveness during cardiac arrest emergencies.
Unauthorized labels on the pads can make expired pads appear to have a valid shelf life. If the hydrogel dries, the pads may not deliver sufficient electrical energy during a cardiac arrest, reducing the chance of survival.
People who own or use Defibtech DDP-100 pads in Ireland that have unauthorized labels. Those with the pads labeled with non-Defibtech stickers are most at risk.
Check for unauthorized labels (non-Defibtech stickers) on the pads. These pads were sold in Ireland with specific UDI-DI numbers: 00815098020423, 30815098020424, and 50815098020428.
Look for unauthorized labels (non-Defibtech stickers) on the pads.
