We have had several people contact us today concerned that they have seen a safety warning regarding defibrillators.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency have issued the warning that there may be an electrical Fault with some LIFEPAK CR Plus and LIFEPAK EXPRESS automatic external Defibrillators (AED). This means that some of them may not deliver an electric shock to someone who is in cardiac arrest.
The Swanage Community Defibrillator Partnership can confirm they DO NOT have any of this type of Defibrillator.
The devices in the partnership cabinets are iPAD SP1, which are all registered with South Western Ambulance and the UK Supplier.
The Partnership regularly check their devices in line with the Governance Structure, South Western Ambulance and the UK Resus Council.
In any medical emergency call 999 and ask for Ambulance.
