Certain Samaritan 300/300P PAD devices have been found to intermittently turn on and off, which may eventually deplete the battery. In addition and separately, certain Samaritan 300/300P PAD devices containing early versions of the battery management software may misinterpret a temporary drop in battery voltage as signaling a low battery, resulting in the device turning itself off. A device experiencing either condition could be unable to deliver therapy during a cardiac event.

 

Samaritan 300/300P PAD devices with the following serial numbers are affected by this recall:

  • 0400000501 to 0700032917
  • 08A00035000 to 10A0070753
  • 10C00200000 to 10C00210106
