Recall of AED 10 and MRL JumpStart external defibrillators
If your business owns a defibrillator take a look to see if it’s a “14,054 AED 10 and MRL JumpStart external defibrillators made between Oct. 3, 2002, and Jan. 25, 2007. They may not work correctly when called upon to shock a patient resulting in low-energy shocks. There have been 39 incidents reported resulting in two deaths. The company, Welch Allyn and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are having a recall of this model. On the Welch Allyn website they provide a way for you to check the serial numbers on the unit you own to know if it’s affected by the recall.
This is really a tough business we are in as litigators. Yeah I know no one wants to listen to a personal injury lawyer whine. But really it is. Think about this situation for a moment. You expect a defibrillator to work properly when you suffer a heart event requiring it’s use. And when it doesn’t and it’s predictable due to a defect in the equipment you expect the lawyer to sue the company. But the client may be dead due to what? Was it due to the defibrillator not working right or the heart event?
What came first the chicken or the egg? Well I guess it will all come down to the autopsy and what the medical examiner says was the actual heart event and how easily that condition is normally corrected. Follow the FDA link for further information.
