Product
Philips M5072A Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge Catalogue number: M5072A Lot number: Y111220-01 ARTG 337265 (Philips Electronics Australia Ltd - External Defibrillator electrode, Paediatric, single use)
Why it was recalled
Certain M5072A Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridges (LOT Number Y111220-01) contain an incorrect image underneath the PULL handle on the protective cover that shows the pad placement for an adult’s chest (Figure 2). The image on the protective cover should show a drawing of pad placement for a child’s chest and back (Figure 1). The image is correct on the outer pouch that contains the infant/child pads cartridge (Figure 3).
Hazard
In an emergency, if the use and/or placement of the pads is not clear to the user, there may be a delay in administering the defibrillation shock and this may increase the risk of injury to the patient.
