Semi-automatic defibrillators shipped out by Stryker without battery and electrode packs.
Physio-Control is recalling HeartSine Samaritan PAD defibrillators that were shipped without battery packs. This means the defibrillators cannot function properly and may fail during emergencies.
Defibrillators require battery packs and electrode packs to operate. Without these components, the device cannot deliver life-saving shocks during cardiac emergencies. This could lead to fatal heart rhythms if needed.
Healthcare professionals and emergency responders who use these defibrillators are most at risk. Individuals with the specific serial numbers listed in the recall are affected.
Check the serial number on the device, which starts with '20D00009694' for affected units. The product is identified by the GTIN/UDI code 05060167120695.
