Reference 01880/05

Medtronic informs about a recall of Lifepak 500 and Lifepak CR Plus hard shell carry cases manufactured and distributed between April 1997 and March 2004. They may contain a blocked pressure vent which may make it difficult to open the case after a sudden decrease in altitude such as those experienced in aircraft landing or a mounting descent.
