Semi-Automated External Defibrillators Missing Italian Language Labeling

Defibtech is recalling semi-automated external defibrillators (Models DDU-100 and DDU-100E) distributed in Switzerland because they lack required Italian language labeling and instructions for use.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: This is a labeling deficiency—specifically, missing translation into one of three required official languages—with no reported injuries or safety hazards. The issue is regulatory non-compliance regarding product documentation, not a device malfunction or health risk, consistent with FDA Class II cosmetic or documentation-level defects.
