Heart Sync, Inc. is recalling multi-function defibrillation electrodes that do not connect with Philips FR3 or FRx AED units, potentially preventing proper device operation.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device (defibrillator electrode) where a functional defect could prevent life-saving treatment. Although no injuries or illnesses are reported, the risk of harm is significant due to the critical nature of the device.
Plain-English summary
Heart Sync, Inc. is recalling its ADULT/CHILD Radiotranslucent Electrodes, Part number T100AC-PHILIPS. The recall involves 209 boxes containing a total of 2,090 single-use electrodes. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally in Thailand and South Korea.
The recall is being issued because the electrodes will not connect with Philips FR3 or FRx AED units. The FRx AED unit requires pads to be pre-connected and will issue a continuous alarm chirp to alert the user if the proper pads are not connected. However, the FR3 unit does not require pre-connection, meaning a user may not discover the incompatibility until attempting to use the device.
Users of these electrodes should stop using them with Philips FR3 or FRx AED units. The source text does not specify a contact method for returns or refunds, but users should verify compatibility with their specific AED model before use.
