Recall Number Z-193-2016
REASON
The firm became aware that when using EtC02 in the kPa or % setting and in a situation where the reading is above 9.9 kPa, the display of the LIFEPAK 15 respiratory rate may partially obscure a portion of the leading digit of the EtC02 value. This affects all LIFEPAK 15 with an EtC02 feature installed and configured to the kPa or % setting.
