Recalled Products

HeartSine Samaritan PAD SAM 350P

Reason

An issue was detected with the seal on the foil pouch which contains the electrodes within the Pad-Pak/Pedi-Pak. On a small number the final seal of the defibrillation electrode pouch was difficult to open. After an investigation it was found that the supplier of the electrodes to HeartSine Technologies Ltd. made a change to the manufacturing process, which meant an excessive amount of hot melt glue was applied to the final seal of the pouches.
