Recall of AED20 Automatic External Defibrillators
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a June 15, 2006, recall of 580 AED20 automatic external defibrillators. The recalled AED20 automatic external defibrillators were manufactured by the Welch Allyn Company between April and October of 2003, with serial numbers 205199 through 205786.
According to the company, the recalled defibrillators “may experience failure or unacceptable delay in analyzing the patient's ECG and may fail to deliver appropriate therapy, which possibly could result in failure to resuscitate the patient This will occur in combination with an error message on the device display reading "DEFIB COMM FAIL SELF TEST FAILED." This problem occurs because of an intermittent electrical connection within the device. (1)”
