Automated External Defibrillator Model DDU-2450 Missing Italian Translation

Defibtech, LLC is recalling one Automated External Defibrillator Model DDU-2450 (German language version) distributed in Switzerland because it lacks required Italian language labeling and instructions for use.

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 a FDA Class II recall involving missing regulatory labeling (Italian translation) required by Swiss law. There are no reported illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is a labeling/documentation deficiency rather than a product safety defect, making it a moderate-severity recall.
