2. Medi-Trace Cadence Adult Multi-Function Defibrillation Electrodes

Reason

Incompatibility between the Philips Automated External Defibrillators (AED) models FR3 and FRX defibrillators and Covidien Medi-Trace cadence and Kendall Defibrillation Electrodes. These electrodes will not connect with Philips FR3 and FRX AED units, and in the case of the use of Covidien Defibrillation Electrodes with the Philips FR3 AED units, could result in a delay of therapy. The FRX AED unit requires the pads to be pre-connected, and will issue a continuous alarm chirp to alert the user that the proper pads are not connected to the unit prior to use.
