Corrective action of Lifepak 500 AED from Medtronic

Product group Medical electronics / Electromedical devices
Reference 01074/05

Medtronic informs about a corrective action on monophasic Lifepak 500 AED. Lifepak 500 AED manufactured in 1998 and 1999 are more affected by electrical noise in the patient impedance measurement circuit that could generate a false "connect electrodes" message. As these devices do not have this issue when the Edge electrodes are used Medtronic will replace the Quik-Combo with Edge electrodes.
