People and organisations should check if they have the defibrillator model, LIFEPAK 1000 Automatic External Defibrillators (AED), because a technical fault with some of them means they may not deliver an electric shock to the heart to someone who is in cardiac arrest.
This issue could potentially affect all LIFEPAK 1000 devices. There are 10,068 devices in the UK.
