Description

Reason

Some of the recalled defibrillator batteries contain an incorrect fuse which could open resulting in a defibrillator which will not work.

Action

A recall letter, dated May 10, 2004, stated that a replacement battery is enclosed with the letter, and instructed consignees to install the new battery in their defibrilllator and return the old battery.

Distribution

The batteries were distributed with the defibrillators nationwide in the United States and to foreign consignees in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
