Heartsine Recalls
In 2005, HeartSine recalled 672 Samaritan AEDs (serial numbers 1270 – 2324) because the device “may in some cases shut down before delivering a shock.” According to a HeartSine press release, they had received several complaints that the unit would shut down during the charging process. HeartSine offered affected owners a field upgrade kit which allowed the user to fix an affected unit without sending it back to the manufacturer.
Although serious, occasional medical device recalls are not uncommon. We include information about AED recalls in our reviews to help you make an informed decision. Recall “red flags” include those that seem to indicate a pattern of problems or that are not handled in a professional and timely manner.
