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.
Frequent Proximal Occlusion Alarms (POAs) occurring on Symbiq devices with list numbers 16026 and 16027. When there are false alarms, the pump will continue to alarm even though there is no occlusion present. False POAs could result in a delay/interruption in therapy, and require the clinician to reset the alarm multiple times or to replace the pump.
