Physio-Control has begun a Class 1 recall of Lifepak15 monitor/defibrillator due to the failure of the device to deliver an electrical shock. Electrodes connected to the defibrillator help the device analyze a patient’s heart rhythm and deliver an electrical shock to restore normal heart rhythm when needed. The Lifepak 15 monitor also displays a patient’s heart rhythm in waves so the health care provider can study the heart’s electrical activity. “If the electrical shock is not delivered, the monitor will indicate ‘Abnormal Energy Delivery’ on the display,” a [recall notice ](http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ListofRecalls/ucm540979.htm?ref=fdaweb.com)says. “A delay in delivering this therapy could result in serious patient injury such as permanent organ damage, brain injury, or death.”
