Product Description
Philips Sterilizable Defibrillator Internal Paddles - Internal paddles are an accessory to the compatible monitor/defibrillator Switchless: M1741A, M1742A, M1743A, M1744A Switched: M4741A, M4742A, M4743A, M4744A - Product Usage: An electrical conductor used in pairs to transmit a controlled electrical shock from an external defibrillator directly to the exposed heart muscle of a post-pubescent patient in order to intentionally stop start the heartbeat during cardiopulmonary surgery.
Reason for Recall
Internal Paddles may wear over time and may not be safe or ready for use, unless the directions in the Instructions for Use (IFU) to perform routine operational checks are followed. The instructions for use rely on these checks rather than specifying a maximum number of sterilization cycles to determine when the paddles should be discarded. A damaged Internal Paddle may not be able to deliver therapy.
