  • Notas adicionales en la data
    According to Medtronic Commercial Ltd., the defibrillators described above were fabricated with a component that may fail due to a higher electrical leakage than normal in this item, which can cause the display to weaken and possibly the total disappearance of the data. The devices identified were manufactured in a limited number between January and December 2007 and the company said it considers it unlikely after an engineering review that the display or performance of LIFEPAK 1000 is affected by this problem. As an additional check the company is running functional tests to confirm the engineering analysis.
  • Causa
    Possibility of failure of the equipment display.
  • Acción
    Users should identify any risk-defibrillators they may have, but may continue to use them normally. It is recommended that devices be set to "auto-analyze" mode by selecting "analyze" in the device menu. If you detect that the information on the LIFEPAK 1000 defibrillator display begins to weaken or disappear completely, you must inform the product registration holder in Brazil immediately (Medtronic Comercial Ltda - Tel: (11) 2182-9200). If the display erases during use, the recommended measures are as follows: (1) Continue to use LIFEPAK 1000 to treat the patient (voice and sound messages work normally); (2) If the equipment is not set to "auto-analyze," use the right-hand key at the bottom of the screen to select Analyze.
