Cardiac Science recalls 12,000 defibrillators
Cardiac Science of Bothell said it is recalling more than 12,000 automated external defibrillators after discovering they ``may not be able to deliver therapy during a resuscitation attempt, which may lead to serious adverse events or death.''
The Justice Department has an ongoing probe into heart defibrillator implants, which a big medical study recently indicated are often given to patients who fall outside medical guidelines, an association for heart doctors confirmed Friday.
