The recall applies to specific lots of the company’s Infant/Child Reduced Energy Defibrillation Electrodes manufactured by Cardinal Health. While the electrodes function normally, their packaging contains instructional images detailing incorrect electrode placement for infants. Such electrode positioning could cause serious injury or death if used on an individual.
Physio-Control is notifying customers of the recall, providing them with correct instructions for electrode placement and offering replacement products for all unused electrodes.
