Reported risk: Certain MRx M3538A lithium-ion batteries may contain a defective component. Should the component fail, the battery will no longer charge or deliver power to the MRx Monitor/Defibrillator, which may prevent operation of the device if a second charged battery is not installed or if the device is not connected to AC or DC power. Additionally, the LED status indicator on the battery will not illuminate, even if the battery has a charge. Should a second, unaffected battery be present in the HeartStart MRx, the battery failure may go unnoticed.
