Telefunken AED withdrawn in Ireland; should we follow suit in the UK?
In 2013, Dutch automatic external defibrillator manufacturer DefiTeq, entered the UK market with its Telefunken AED. Offering competitive price points and a simple user interface, the unit made a successful impression, and was adopted by a wide range of public and private sector organisations. Fast-forward four years, and the cracks had started to show.
Many distributors across Europe had suspended their support for the AED, and DefiTeq subsequently withdrew their CE mark from the device. Some European health organisations, such as Ireland’s HPRA, went as far as to publish public safety notices against the Telefunken AED[1]; advising owners and users of the device to source an alternative product. We’re now midway through 2019, and there still has been no official guidance for UK based organisations and first responders who may still be holding Telefunken AED stock. Is it time we followed suit?
