Thursday, May 6th, 2010
URGENT
MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTON        
LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/Defibrillator
 
What is the issue?
Physio-Control, Inc. a division of Medtronic, Inc. is conducting a voluntary correction for a limited number of LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillators. Our internal analysis has verified that for those monitor/defibrillators an internal component could inadvertently contact the power printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).  Should this occur, we have verified that the monitor/defibrillator may:
·         cycle power Off then On by itself, or
·         power Off by itself requiring the operator to turn it back On, or
·         stay powered On and not allow itself to be turned Off.
 
No adverse patient events have been received related to this issue.
 
Am I affected by this issue?
Our records show that specific LIFEPAK 15 device serial numbers that are identified on the enclosed sheet, and that we track to your facility, are affected by this issue. To check other serial numbers, visit our website at www.physio-control-notices.com/LP15pcba.
 
What should I do?
We recommend keeping the monitor/defibrillator in service and to continue testing them in accordance with the Operating Instructions Section 9 – Maintaining the Equipment. Your local service representative will be calling you to schedule a service visit within 60 days. If your monitor/defibrillator exhibits any power on or power off issues, immediately call our Technical Support at 1.800.442.1142 – option 5, 6:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. (Pacific), Monday – Friday.

Certification Announcements- Important Update for CPP PCI Exams

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Implementation of New CPP, PCI Exam Test Forms to Begin on May 1, 2010.

In 2008, ASIS International undertook an update of the domains, tasks, and knowledge areas comprising the test content outline for the CPP and PCI examination programs by conducting worldwide Job Analyses (also known as role delineation studies). The new CPP and PCI exam forms, which will be administered beginning May 1, 2010, were developed using updated test specifications (examination blueprints) that resulted from these newly updated Job Analyses. A Job Analysis describes the major areas of responsibility (i.e., domains of practice) in a profession, the specific work-related tasks associated with each domain, and the knowledge and skills that are necessary to perform the tasks. This type of study is conducted every 5 years to ensure that examination content remains relevant, current, and accurately reflects job-related activities, competencies, and professional standards.

Please note that all candidates scheduled to test before May 1, 2010, will test with examinations developed from the current test specifications. All CPP and PCI exam questions are developed using the CPP and PCI reference books. Hence, it is recommended that candidates focus their preparation for the examination using these books.

To review the changes in the CPP and PCI Exams please download the documents below.
