LIFEPAK 500 AEDs in high-use environments (Emergency Medical Services) may detect a patient connection due to mechanical wear-through of the contact plating on the therapy connector. Wear-through of the connector exposes base metal on which an oxide layer may form result in the device not recognizing a patient is connected. When the circumstance arises, the device will provide the user the "CONNECT ELECTRODES" message. In agreement with the FDA and the PMA standards, this device is out of service.

Model/Item numbers: M3535A, M3536A. Philips is recalling the HeartStart MRxDefibrillator due to a defect in the device's Gas Discharge Tube (GDT). The GDT has micro cracks which allows internal gasses to escape and causes the tubes to not function as expected. This also permits an electrical current surge to cross the device's designated resistors, which will damage the resistors and prevent the device from working while in automated external defibrillator (AED)mode. As a result of this GDT defect, the HeartStart MRx may fail at any time,including when delivering repeated shocks in AED mode, or during the periodicOperational Check outlined in the device's Instructions for Use. If the device is used in AED mode after failure, the device will not deliver patient therapy.Continued use of the device in AED mode after failure may lead to serious patient injury or death.

Electrodes will not work with Philips FR3 and FRx AEDs. Philips made changes to the connector design of their FR3 and FRx AEDs. Because of these changes, the CONMED electrodes will no longer work with these AEDs. The FRx AED requires electrode pads be connected to the device before it is used. The AED will make a continuous alarm chirp to alert the user that the correct pads are not connected. The FR3 does not require electrode pads to be pre-connected. Users will not know that the pads do not work until they try to use the AED. This may result in a delay in delivering the electrical therapy needed to revive a patient. Delay in therapy could result in serious injury or death.
