Philips Defibrillators Recalled Due to Faulty Chip

Philips Electronics has announced a recall of 5,400 of its HeartStart FR2+ automated external defibrillators. The recall was announced after the company learned that there may be a problem in one of the memory chips that could prevent the defibrillator from working properly. The recalled products were sold worldwide, although it is expected that customers in the US will be mainly affected by the recall.

The affected defibrillators were manufactured in 2007 and early 2008. Models M3860A and M3861A, distributed by Philips, and M3840A and M3841A, distributed by Laerdal Medical have been recalled.
