Description
GE Healthcare Pediatric Direct-Wired Disposable Defibrillation/Pacing Electrodes. REF 2059144-001 and 2059144-005. . Product Usage: Usage: Skintact Pediatric Multifunction Electrodes are for use on pediatric patients, less than 8 years of age, or weighing less than 25 kg (55 lbs), for external defibrillation, pacing, monitoring and cardioversion. The device is non-sterile and for single use only.
The firm discovered that during the use of these defibrillation electrodes a possibility for arcing and a resulting malfunction exists. This could lead to a situation, in which a patient who is in a life threatening situation requiring a defibrillation can receive such therapy only with a delay or not at all.
