Cardiac Science has issued a Field Safety Notice concerning a corrective action of the Powerheart G5 Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs). Devices shipped between June, 21 2012 and March 1, 2013, may have been manufactured with a defective electrode connector. As a result, there is the risk that the AED does not recognize that pads have been placed on the patient and that it is not able to deliver therapy during a rescue attempt.
