Nihon Koden April 28 announced a plan to repair 85,000 automatic external defibrillators. The company said the affected products, CardioLife ADE-9100 and 9200 were manufactured by Cardiac Science of U.S. and imported and marketed in Japan by Nihon Koden. According to the company, the devices may mistakenly turn on the "need attention" light, and will not deliver life-saving shocks to patients. One case has been reported in Japan where the AED stopped working, but no severe adverse effects have been reported. Nihon Koden has notified the medical facilities that purchased the devices and will visit them to make repairs.
