AED Failures Linked to Cardiac Arrest Deaths
TUCSON -- Lawrence Deluca, Jr. EdD, MD, has been recently featured in several national news articles regarding his Analysis of Automated External Defibrillator Device Failures Reported to the Food and Drug Administration study. The Automated External Defibrillator study demonstrates that various malfunctions of external defibrillators, ranging from low batteries to improper cable connections, have an adverse impact to the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients. In the past 18 years, over a 1,000 cardiac patients died due to external defibrillator failures. This study has sparked a discussion on how to standardize a process to collect information of device failures to be reported to the manufacture and Food and Drug administration (FDA).
