The LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator is intended for use by trained medical personnel in outdoor and indoor emergency care settings within the environmental conditions specified.

Reason for Recall

The firm became aware that when using EtC02 in the kPa or % setting and in a situation where the reading is above 9.9 kPa, the display of the LIFEPAK 15 respiratory rate may partially obscure a portion of the leading digit of the EtC02 value. This affects all LIFEPAK 15 with an EtC02 feature installed and configured to the kPa or % setting.
