Nihon Kohden Cardiolife TEC-5521K Defibrillator Analysis Report
Overview and Product Description
The device shown in the images is a Nihon Kohden brand Cardiolife TEC-5521K model defibrillator. On the front panel of the device, “ActiBiphasic cardiolife” and the “NIHON KOHDEN” brand logo, along with the “TEC-5521K” model code, are clearly legible. The product is designed to help the heart regain its normal rhythm by applying an electric shock in medical emergencies. The control buttons and energy level adjustment dial indicate that it has “AED” (Automated External Defibrillator) functionality in addition to manual defibrillation. Based on the logo, labels, and craftsmanship quality in the images, the device appears to be original.
Quantity Information
The products examined in the image are as follows:
- 1 unit Nihon Kohden Cardiolife TEC-5521K Defibrillator main unit
- 2 defibrillator paddles connected to the device with a cable
Physical Condition and Deformation Assessment
The general condition of the device has been assessed as used. Dirt and discoloration are observed in places on the white main casing. The most prominent physical deformation is present on the purple-colored label overlay of the control panel on the right side of the device. This overlay shows significant blistering, peeling, and wear. This condition may affect the functionality of the buttons underneath and reduce legibility. The device’s screen is off, and some superficial scratches and stains are noticeable on its surface. The defibrillator paddles and the coiled cable connecting them to the device appear physically intact upon visual inspection.
Technical Label Information
The labels on the front face of the device contain German warning texts. The information on these labels is as follows:
- Brand: NIHON KOHDEN
- Model: Cardiolife TEC-5521K
- Technology: ActiBiphasic
- Warning 1: It is stated that the defibrillator should not be used in environments containing flammable gases or concentrated oxygen.
- Warning 2: It is stated that the device should only be used by trained and qualified personnel and that the patient should not be touched during defibrillation.
Other identifying information such as the device’s serial number, lot number, or REF code could not be found in the images.
Accessories
A pair of defibrillator paddles is directly attached to the device. Apart from these, no other additional accessories (such as a power cable, ECG electrodes, battery, or carrying case) are visible in the image.
Potential Risk Assessment
The most prominent issue in the images is the severely worn and peeled label on the control panel. This condition can both make the buttons difficult to use and cause liquid or dirt to seep under the panel, creating a potential risk of malfunction in the electronic components. The used general condition of the device suggests that professional maintenance and calibration may be required for long-term, trouble-free use. However, apart from the worn label, no clear signs of serious malfunction, such as a significant crack or fracture, were found on the device’s casing or paddles.
