Description
Power Heart Automatic External Defibrillator, Model 9210 RD
Reason
Some of the high voltage capacitors in the recalled external defibrillators have had extended charge times resulting in self-test failures following which the defibrillator cannot be used/cannot be turn on.
Action
A recall letter, dated May 24, 2004, stated that a replacement AED is enclosed with the letter, and instructed consignees to replace their AED with the new one immediately and return the old AED.
Distribution
The recalled AED units were distributed nationwide in the United States and to foreign accounts in Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa.
