Defibtech Announces a Voluntary Recall of DBP-2800 Battery Packs used in the Lifeline AED® and ReviveR AEDTM

Defibtech, LLC, is
initiating a voluntary recall of 5,418 DBP-2800 Battery Packs used in the Lifeline AED®
and ReviveR AEDTM (semi-automatic external defibrillators). This recall affects all DBP-
2800 Battery Packs shipped prior to June 4, 2007. In rare instances, when the AED is
used with an affected battery pack, the AED may falsely detect an error condition during
charging for a shock, then cancel charge and not provide therapy. Defibtech determined
the need for this recall after learning of four reports from end users of this malfunction
during patient use.
