Philips Recalling 5,400 FR2+ Automated External Defibrillators

Philips is recalling some 5,400 defibrillators from their professional line, the FR2+ due to a problem with a memory chip that is experiencing a high rate of failure and will lead to the defibrillator unit being inoperable. The units detected the problems during the self-test routines and not during acutal emergency usage.

The defibrillator recall affects models M3860A and M3861A distributed by Philips as well as models M3840A and M3841A distributed by Laerdal Medical. All the recalled defibrillators were manufactured between May 2007 and Janry 2008.

    Thanks for this article! It really helped me to understand new things.

    It handles the medical direction part of owning an AED. You just plug in your AED information, and it will keeps track of your AED Inspection dates, AED Battery replacement, and AED Pad replacement.

    It will even take care of monitoring your First Responders CPR renewals.
