Philips Healthcare has announced a voluntary recall affecting some of its HeartStart MRx Defibrillators/Monitors (model M3535A/M3536A). The voluntary action is due to a potential therapy switch failure that may cause spontaneous turn-on or failure to turn on. To date, there has been only one report of a suspected failure worldwide. This failure could not be confirmed and no patient impact was reported. Philips is taking this corrective action to proactively limit the possibility of this failure occurring in the future. The units affected are those that were manufactured by Philips from March 2006 to March 2009 with a serial number within the range of US00210406 and US00333123 plus a few additional units that had their therapy switches replaced within the relevant time period. Please click here to see the Field Safety Notice for more information regarding the potential problem, the serial numbers of the affected units, the actions that should be taken by end-users and the actions planned by Philips to correct the problem. Philips is currently in the process or contacting end-users regarding this potential problem. Southeastern Emergency Equipment is also sending letters and contacting all its affected customers.
