Reason
Physio-Control has become aware of incidents where customers have attempted to use their LIFEPAK 1000 and the device has shut down due to a very low battery. A defibrillator in this scenario has the potential to fail to deliver a shock; with the result that therapy is not delivered. The operating manual may contribute to customers not replacing the battery when required. The readiness display may indicate a low battery charge when it should indicate a very low battery charge. Batteries at both low and very low star of charge must be replace with a fully charged battery.
