Automated External Defibrillators DDU-2200 Missing Italian Language Translation

Defibtech is recalling Automated External Defibrillators Model DDU-2200 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 an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling/documentation issue—missing Italian translation—with no report of device malfunction, injury, or adverse health consequences. The hazard is regulatory non-compliance rather than a risk of harm to the device's intended function.
