- Summary: The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) announced a Class II voluntary recall initiated by Shanghai Optoelectronic Medical Electronic Instruments Co., Ltd. on August 29, 2017. This recall targets disposable defibrillator electrodes specifically designed for use in semi-automatic external defibrillators (Registration No.: 20153212176). The core issue identified was uneven surface processing of the blue release paper on these electrodes, which caused some to detach prematurely. This manufacturing defect presented a potential risk to patient safety and could compromise the effectiveness of these critical medical devices. While specific inspection dates were not provided, the company proactively reported the defect and initiated the recall, reflecting their commitment to post-market surveillance under NMPA regulations. As a corrective measure, Shanghai Optoelectronic Medical Electronic Instruments Co., Ltd. is voluntarily recalling all affected product batches. A Class II recall signifies that the product's use or exposure could lead to temporary or reversible adverse health consequences, or where the likelihood of serious adverse health consequences is remote. The company is mandated to furnish comprehensive details regarding the affected product numbers, specifications, and batch identifiers via a Medical Device Recall Event Report Form. This ensures the mitigation of risks associated with the defective product, thereby upholding medical device safety and efficacy standards.
