Reason
Philips has become aware that in a limited number FR3 Automated External Defibrillators (AED), the printed circuit board (PCB), which contains the circuitry that supplies energy to the device, could become separated from the electrical contact points that hold the board in place. In the event the PCB becomes separated from the electrical contact points, the AED may not be ready to deliver a shock in the event of an emergency.
