Physio-Control issued an urgent field safety notice recalling certain lots of its Quik-Combo adult pacing/defibrillation/ECG electrodes and its Red-Pak preconnected system due to a potential for damage to the wire insulation.
The company said that it hasn’t received any complains over the issue from customers, but that the use of products with the damaged insulation could result in an increased risk for reduced or no patient therapy, arcing of current, sparking and patient or clinician burns.
Physio-Control requested that customers with the device should quarantine the products and return them to the company, according to a safety field notice from the company.
