Remote Diagnostic Technologies is recalling 1,745 Philips Tempus LS-Manual Defibrillators because using them at the same time as other heart monitoring devices can cause electrical noise or interference. This interference can distort the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, which may prevent the device from providing the necessary life-saving heart pacing or defibrillation pulse. This recall affects devices with part number 00-3020 and serial numbers below 7022.002871 that are being used with specific operator manuals.
Electrical noise from multiple devices can mask a patient's true heart rhythm, leading the defibrillator to either fail to deliver a shock when needed or deliver an inappropriate shock. This could result in ineffective treatment during a cardiac emergency, potentially leading to serious injury or death.
