Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		Batteries mislabeled - batteries labeled as 2.4 amp/hour batteries, however are 1.0 amp/hour batteries.
FDA Determined
Cause 2		Labeling mix-ups
ActionOn February 27, 2008, the firm sent a "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE - ACCESSORY RECALL" letter via certified return receipt to their consignees. The letter states the batteries are fully functional 1.0 amp/hour batteries mislabeled as 2.4 amp/hour batteries and that the batteries will provide half the monitoring time and half the number of defibrillation shock as of a 2.4 amp/hour LIFEPAK NiCd battery. Enclosed with the letter is a confirmation sheet for the consignee to indicate the number of recalled batteries they have and fax back to the firm. The firm will send out replacement batteries and the consignee is to then send back the mislabeled batteries. If there are any questions, contact the technical support group at 1-800-442-1142 - option 5 or visit www.physio-control-notices.come/fastpak.
