Recall details

Recalling firm
Cardiac Science Corporation
Reason for recall
The Operators Manual may not have adequate information to clearly explain some device behaviors. Pressing and holding down the Charge or Shock button on the Responder 2000 for more than 5 seconds causes a "Button Stuck" error. With the "Button Stuck" error, the device will automatically exit Manual mode and enter Monitor mode. The user cannot apply therapy while the device is in Monitor mode.
Action taken
The firm, Cardiac Science, sent an "Urgent-Medical Device Corrective Action" letter dated October 15, 2009, was sent to customers. The letter describes the product, problem and action to be taken by the customers. Cardiac Science requested GE to provide the end users with the Operator's Manual addendum. The customers are instructed to place the Operator's Manual addendum with their Responder 2000 Operator's Manual for future reference. If you have any questions about your Responder 2000, please contact Cardiac Science technical support at +44.161.926.0011 or our EU Representative, Ludger Moller, MDSS GmbH at +49.511.6262.8630.
