Physio-Control, Inc. is recalling 32 units of the LIFEPAK 15 defibrillator/monitor because the battery pins inside the device can become loose. This mechanical defect can cause the device to lose power or fail to operate during a medical emergency. The affected units include various model configurations (REF numbers) sold across five U.S. states. Consumers and medical facilities should check their device serial numbers immediately to determine if their life-saving equipment is affected and contact the manufacturer for a resolution.
If the battery pins become loose, the defibrillator may not receive consistent power, which can lead to the device shutting down or failing to deliver a life-saving shock during cardiac arrest. This failure to operate during a critical emergency could result in serious injury or death.
