| Issue: | Covidien has received two reports where customers attempted to use a Covidien electrode with a Philips FR3 AED unit. These electrodes will not connect with Philips FR3 or FRx AED units, and the use of Covidien defibrillation electrodes with the Philips FR3 AED units, could result in a delay of therapy. The FRx AED unit requires the pads to be pre-connected, and will issue a continuous alarm chirp to alert the user that the proper pads are not connected to the unit prior to use. |
