Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Internal Paddles may wear over time and may not be safe or ready for use, unless the directions in the Instructions for Use (IFU) to perform routine operational checks are followed. The instructions for use rely on these checks rather than specifying a maximum number of sterilization cycles to determine when the paddles should be discarded. A damaged Internal Paddle may not be able to deliver therapy.
