What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a potential failure of a critical medical device used for defibrillation and pacing, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury risk or structural defects.
