WASHINGTON (AP) — Medtronic Inc. said Friday it is recalling nearly 2,000 automatic defibrillators that may not work properly.
The company said the machines may not correctly analyze a patient's heart rhythm, possibly preventing the machine from defibrillating the heart when it is needed.
The recall covers 1,924 Lifepak 500 AEDs made in 1997, the company said.
