Physio-Control, Inc. is initiating a voluntary correction for a limited number of LIFEPAK monitor / defibrillators due to a component that may inadvertently contact  the power printed circuit board assembly.  Should this occur, we have verified that the monitor / defibrillator may:

• cycle power Off, then On by itself
• power Off by itself requiring the operator to turn it pack On
• stay powered on and not allow itself to be powered Off
