| Issue: | During testing at HeartSine Technologies Ltd, an issue has been detected with the seal on the foil pouch which contains the electrodes within the Pad-Pak and Pedi-Pak. On a small number, the final seal on the defibrillation electrode pouch was found to be difficult to open. The investigation identified that the supplier of the electrodes to HeartSine Technologies Ltd had made a change to the manufacturing process which meant that an excessive amount of hot melt glue was applied to the final seal of the pouches. |
