From the May 2014 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine


HeartSine, another AED manufacturer, declined to comment for this story. Other companies, including Zoll, did not respond to questions seeking comment by press time.

Brian Arbanas, director of ECR Product Marketing for Philips Healthcare, said the company has had an ongoing dialogue with the FDA regarding both the proposed order and compliance with the FDA recall policy.


“We have already taken steps to review our processes and training to ensure that if FDA finalizes its order, that we will continue to be able to provide advanced AED products that meet our customers’ expectations,” Arbanas says. Arbanas notes that it is too early to say how the reclassification might affect the prices of AEDs.

“This is a difficult question to answer at this juncture without knowing if FDA will finalize its order,” Arbanas says. “That said, it is our aim to continue to be able to provide advanced AED products that meet our customers’ expectations.”
