Certain Welch Allyn Defibrillators Recalled (Jan. 2008)

The device company, Welch Allyn, is recalling some of its AED 10 automatic external defibrillators. A defective capacitor in some of these devices may cause them to malfunction, and in some cases this may prevent the defibrillator from analyzing a patient's ECG properly. If that happens, the device may fail to deliver a shock.

The affected AED 10 devices were manufactured between March 29, 2007 and August 9, 2007 and have part numbers 970302E, 970308E, 970309E, 970310E, and 970311E. The company plans to replace all affected units and has set up a call center for customers. To arrange for a replacement for a recalled device, contact Welch Allyn at 1-800-462-0777 (option 4).
