MRL, Inc. a Welch Allyn Company Issues a Voluntary Worldwide Recall of Selected AED20 Automatic External Defibrillators
MRL, Inc., a Welch Allyn Company, today announced it is initiating a voluntary worldwide recall of 597 AED20 Automatic External Defibrillators manufactured in Buffalo Grove, IL between February and July of 2004. The AED20 may display a “Defib Comm” error message on the device display during use resulting in a failure of the device to analyze the patient’s ECG and deliver the appropriate therapy which prevents the defibrillator from resuscitating a patient. This problem occurs when an impact to the exterior of the AED20 causes a circuit board connector to perforate an insulation shield enabling an electrical short between the connector and the external housing of the AED20.
MRL, Inc initiated notification via certified mail on May 5, 2005 to its customers who purchased AED20’s in this group of devices (296 of which were sold within the US and 301 outside of the US). The company is providing customers with a loaner AED20 at no cost while their unit is being serviced and will pay all costs associated with shipping, handling and corrective service.
Customers with questions may contact the company at 1-800-462-0777 for more information.

Biomerieux Issues New Alert on the Recall of Certain Lots of Its Simplastin Tissue Reagent Used in Laboratory Monitoring of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy
BioMerieux Inc., of Durham NC, is issuing a new alert on a recall of Simplastin HTF, a tissue thromboplastin reagent that is used in laboratory diagnostic testing of patients receiving anticoagulant testing. The new alert is being issued because mislabeling problems with certain lots of this product could result in inaccurate test results, which in turn could lead to improper patient treatment – in some cases resulting in serious or life-threatening injury.
The recalled product can be identified by product catalog number 259846, lots 161798, 161764, and 161763 or catalog number 259847, lots 161849 and 161800. The recalled lots were distributed worldwide, including 236 customers in the U.S. Laboratories that have this reagent should not use it, but instead contact the company. Laboratories who have used this reagent should also contact any physicians or medical institutions whose patients may be affected by this problem.
BioMerieux Inc. is notifying its distributors and subsidiaries by Field Corrective Action communication and has notified all customers individually about the change in the recall’s status.

PRODUCT
The Arrow Trerotola Percutaneous Thrombolytic Device (Product Codes: PT-65709-WC,
PT-65709-W, PT-65709-HFWC, and PT-12709-WC) consists of a catheter with an expandable
fragmentation basket attached to a through lumen torque cable and an outer catheter
sheath. The catheter is used in conjunction with a low-speed, battery operated
rotator unit to treat thrombosed hemodialysis grafts and AV fistulas. The macerating
mechanism is done by 9 mm basket (made up of four stranded stainless steel wires)
that rotates at 3000 rpm when rotator is activated. The current device is 7
Fr in size and comes in two lengths -- 65 cm and 120 cm. This device is used
by inserting the catheter into the occluded graft or fistula via introducer
sheath and then activating the rotator unit.
