Description
Philips is notifying customers of a potential issue with the Adult SMART Pads Cartridge (M5071A) and the Infant/Child SMART Pads Cartridge (M5072A) for use specifically with the HeartStart HS1 AEDs.
Philips has identified that for affected pads, some gel may fold onto itself, resulting in reduced surface area of gel on the pad, or it may separate almost completely leaving only a small amount of gel on the pad to make contact with a patient’s skin.
If this occurs, the HS1 AED could deliver less effective or ineffective therapy. As affected pads are stored in sealed cartridges, this issue will not be visible until the cartridge is opened for use. Users should continue to use the HS1 AED and pads as-is and follow the device’s voice prompts during use. The AED will audibly guide users through each step of the procedure. It is recommended that customers and users keep their HS1 AED in service according to the Instructions for Use/Owner’s Manual.
Philips has an updated Adult SMART pad and expects to submit for clearance by Competent Authorities globally. Once we have clearance, we will begin providing updated Adult SMART pads worldwide.
If you have already responded to the communication sent, there is nothing more you need to do. Your complimentary Adult SMART pads will be provided to you.
If you have not responded to the request, you will receive a communication shortly asking for some additional information about your HeartStart HS1/OnSite/Home AED(s). Please complete this request as soon as possible.
