Reason

Action

The firm start sending the "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION LIFEPAK CR Plus AND LIFEPAK EXPRESS AEDs" letter, dated February 2013, to their consignees. Consignees are advised to check the readiness of the AEDs and should contact Physio if the OK symbol is NOT visible and either the ATTENTION or WRENCH symbols are present.
