Philips HeartStart FR3 Automated External Defibrillator (AED), models 861388 and 861389. The HeartStart FR3 is a battery powered automated external defibrillator (AED) designed for use by responders who have been trained in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), or another physician-authorized emergency medical response program. The HeartStart FR3 is used to treat suspected victims of ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most common cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and certain ventricular tachycardia (VTs). Both models are used with disposable defibrillator pads applied to potential victims of SCA with the following symptoms: -Unresponsiveness -Absence of normal breathing If in doubt, apply the pads. The HeartStart FR3 is intended for adults and children over 55 pounds (25 kg) or 8 years old. Both models 861388 and 861389 are also intended for children under 55 pounds (25 kg) or 8 years old when used with the optional Infant/Child Key. If the Infant/Child Key is not available, or you are uncertain of the child's age or weight, do not delay treatment.

Class I - Dangerous

Philip's is recalling HeartStart FR3 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) because the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), which contains the circuitry that supplies energy to the device, could become separated from the electrical contact points that hold the board in place. In the event the PCB becomes separated from the electrical contact points, the AED may not be ready to deliver a shock in the event of an emergency.

Philips Model EPIQ 7 Ultrasound System. Intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis. Catalogue numbers 795200 / 795201 / 795202 / 795204 / 795205 / 795206 EPIQ is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis. The collection of Doppler velocity results values are used to assist in diagnosing the existence, location and severity of cardiac or vasculare stenosis.

Class I - Dangerous

A problem has been detected with Philips Model EPIQ 5 and 7 Ultrasound System. The system will report incorrect Doppler velocities if you use High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) with multiple sample volume gates. While in High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) in Display Zoom Velocity Scale using manual spectral Doppler trace, the velocities in the velocity results table may be overstated b

If the person is an infant or child younger than eight years old or weighs less than 55 lbs (25 kg), use the special infant/child pads. If the child appears older/larger, use the adult pads. Do not delay treatment to determine the child s exact age or weight. If in doubt, use the adult pads. Models M5066A (for HS1 Onsite), M5067A (OnSite) , and M5068A (for HS1 Home).

Class I - Dangerous

Philips is recalling HeartStart Home and OnSite (HS1) automated external defibrillators (AEDs) because one or both contact pins may be contaminated by residue from the soldering process. This contamination could prevent an adequate connection between the pads cartridge and the AED. If poor contact between the pads cartridge and AED occurs, the device may be unable to deliver therapy in an emergency.
