A WARNING HAS been issued over unauthorised labels on some defibrillator pads which display an incorrect expiry date.
The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) today said that a number of Defibtech Automated External Defibrillator (AED) pads supplied to the Irish market have been affixed with unauthorised labels.
These unauthorised labels, which the HPRA said were applied outside of Defibtech’s control, provide an incorrect expiry date.
The HPRA warned that this could result in expired AED pads being used after their shelf life.
This in turn could result in a poor electrical connection and reduced energy delivered to a patient.
Defibtech has issued a Field Safety Notice (FSN) to customers highlighting the issue.
The FSN details how to identify an affected AED pad and outlines the actions required to arrange for the removal and exchange of an affected AED pad.
The HPRA has also directly contacted a number of organisations that could be impacted and is urging users to immediately check their AED pads.
The HPRA is the regulatory authority for medical devices in Ireland, and Defibtech is working with it to further investigate the matter and its impact on customers, as well as to assess the total number of pads affected.
It’s understood that the authorised labels on a number of AED electrode pads were removed and an unauthorised label was then applied outside of Defibtech’s control.
This could potentially lead to an expired AED Pad appearing as though it is within the acceptable use range.
The affected AED Pads are for exclusive use with Defibtech AED models and include:
Defibtech and the HPRA are advising customers who have one of the Defibtech AED models listed and have purchased Defibtech AED pads to immediately inspect the product label.
Those with affected products should contact Oxygen Care, Defibtech’s new Irish market distributor, to arrange a return and exchange for an authorised labelled Defibtech AED Pad free of charge.

So did they win or what?
Fair play to her, my partner gave birth and I couldn’t go to work for a week….
Our bodies were evolved to reproduce from our teenage years onwards, not in our late 30′s and 40′s, it’s one of the reasons C sections are so common now
walk it off and get back in tbe game
“Teenager gives birth to baby in gym toilet and returns to volleyball game”.
This is why China will take over the world. As a nation they exemplify a “can do” attitude and simply refuse to let anything prevent them from “finishing the job”, including in this case, childbirth.
Irish women could learn something from that girls attitude.
She returned to the game because she was terrified of being found out. The poor girl had no one to turn to in a country that is still caught in the dark ages when it comes to women having children outside of marriage. The girl needs sympathy and not smart comments from the male chauvinist brigade.
Tadhg, come back to us when you’ve had a baby. We might take your last line seriously then.
Me ma gave birth to me at 12 and she was home by 5 to cook the dinner, women now a days drag it out with 6 months off work..
She was very young to have a bonny baby, Alfie!
Must have been tough on your ma having a baby when she was only 12
And we even get pain relief ; )
Like a boss
HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software’s. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get 40,000 Kuwaiti dinar each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don’t give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. on yahoomail, (luciafernando222@gmail.com) for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable.(luciafernando222@gmail.com)
Well you just killed that thread
This one takes a bit of timing, and a lot of patience: as soon as you see the signs, get your child to the potty/toilet as quickly as you can (you might need to lift them up and run!), and put them on the toilet seat. Sit with him reading or with an iPad or whatever until he goes. Huge applause and reward. Repeat until the connection is made. I have found some good pottytrainingapp http://www.pottytrainingapp.com from searching google. You may try this apps for become a special potty trainer for your childs. Thanks.
have your say
