Implantable defibrillators are also known as ICD's, an acronym for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. Below is an excerpt from the FDA's website concerning this recall:

"What are Sprint Fidelis Leads? Manufactured by Medtronic, Inc., Sprint Fidelis Leads are specific models of cardiac electrodes (thin wires) that connect an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) directly to the heart. ICDs and CRT-Ds are devices that protect patients when life-threatening heart rhythms occur...

What is Medtronic announcing about the Sprint Fidelis Leads? Medtronic, Inc., is announcing that it is voluntarily suspending worldwide distribution of the Sprint Fidelis family of defibrillation leads. This includes four Sprint Fidelis Models: 6930, 6931, 6948, and 6949. FDA considers this removal action to be a medical device recall. Medtronic is advising physicians to stop implanting the leads and to return unused products to the firm."
