An official AEMPS notice concerns Market recall and safety warnings concerning certain models and serial numbers of HeartSine Samaritan PAD automated external defibrillators due to 3 potential problems identified. Market recall and safety warnings concerning certain models and serial numbers of HeartSine Samaritan PAD automated external defibrillators due to 3 potential problems identified: - Possibility that the intended therapy may not be delivered due to a manufacturing defect involving a circuit board component. - A problem involving the membrane tab, an internal component that could cause the device to stop working. - Absence of a supplement containing routine maintenance instructions. Published 2026-10-09.
What to do now
AEMPS recommends that those responsible for HeartSine Samaritan PAD defibrillators affected by the product failure problems have an alternative automated external defibrillator available until Stryker provides a replacement defibrillator unaffected by the problem arising during the manufacturing process, as the affected defibrillators may not deliver the necessary therapy in an emergency.
