Product

LIFEPAK CR Plus and/or LIFEPAK EXPRESS are Automatic External Defibrillator(s) and are non-wearable. LIFEPAK CR Plus and LIFEPAK EXPRESS defibrillators are intended for use on patients in cardiac arrest.

Reason

LIFEPAK CR Plus Automated External Defibrillators (AED) or LIFEPAK EXPRESS AED may fail to initiate voice prompts when the ON/OFF button is pressed and the lid is opened due to an internal component (reed switch) that can intermittently become fixed in the closed position. A defibrillator in this condition will fail to deliver a shock, with the potential result that therapy is not delivered and a patient is not resuscitated.
