Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 The On/Off functionality in the LCSU 4 is controlled by electronic components, one of which might be damaged.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Nonconforming Material/Component
Action On January 8, 2017 Laerdal Medical distributed Urgent Device Recall Notification Letters to their customers thru Stericycle. The documents were dispatched via standard UPS ground delivery. Laerdal Medical has discovered that the LCSU4 may turn on by itself when connected to a power source and/or may not be able to be turned off with the on/off button without removing the battery or external power source.
