Reason
Philips has become aware that in a limited number of Heartstart Home and Onsite (HS1) Automated External Defibrillators (AED), one or both contact pins may be contaminated by residue from the soldering process. This contamination could prevent an adequate connection between the pads cartridge and the aed. If poor contact between the pads cartridge and aed occurs, the device may be unable to deliver therapy in an emergency.
