RMU-2000 Automated Chest Compression Device Recalled Due to Motor Failure
Defibtech is recalling the RMU-2000 Automated Chest Compression Device because a motor defect may cause the device to stop delivering compressions, potentially delaying critical therapy and resulting in patient injury or death.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, which mandates a minimum Severe rating. The motor defect directly prevents the device from delivering critical cardiac compressions, which could interrupt emergency therapy and potentially result in patient injury or death.
