Recall of Faulty Defibrillator Batteries

June 10, 2010, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Over 5,000 battery packs used in some defibrillators have been recalled due to a defect. The FDA recall was because the batteries had the potential to falsely detect an error condition during charging for a shock and then cancel the charge.

You don't get a chance to test these defibrillators out very much. When you do, you would like it to work.
