Cardiac Science Recalls Five Powerheart G5 Automatic External Defibrillators
Cardiac Science is recalling five Powerheart G5 AEDs because sub-supplier documentation is insufficient to verify that the printed circuit boards conform to specifications.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text indicates a documentation issue regarding component specifications without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or deaths. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving potential non-conformance without confirmed harm.
