Defibtech Automated External Defibrillators Model DDU-2300 Recalled

Defibtech is recalling Automated External Defibrillators Model DDU-2300 distributed in Switzerland because Italian-language labeling and instructions were not included, violating Swiss Medical Devices Ordinance requirements.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a labeling deficiency. The source does not report any illnesses, injuries, or device failures; the hazard is non-compliance with regulatory labeling requirements rather than a safety or performance defect in the device itself.
