Nihon Kohden Europe GmbH has issued a Field Safety Notice concerning corrective actions of cardioLife defibrillators series TEC-5521K and TEC-5531K using a software version ≤ 01-20. When the battery is discharged completely, the defibrillator shuts down automatically. This could lead to a damage of the power control circuit and the defibrillator could not turn on either in battery mode nor in AC power mode again. The problem will be solved by installation of a software upgrade.
