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."

Medtronic Defibrillator Leads Defective - New Lawsuits IncreasePublished October 16, 2007

Patients who received Medtronic defibrillators were already leery after recalls resulted in hundreds of lawsuits over battery problems. Now those patients have a new concern. The electrical leads used in many defibrillators have been found to erode or crack.

Medtronic has stopped using these leads which are thought to have contributed to 5 deaths. 268,000 of these leads have already been used leaving many to worry. Medtronic has released a list of specific models which may be affected but most people with defibrillators are not aware of which model was used. That's when you need the help of an attorney. Call us today at 800-821-1242 for a fast and free case review.

Medtronic Defibrillator And Pacemaker Lawsuits

Medtronic announced that some models of their implantable defibrillator have a defect which causes the battery to fail within a few hour or days after it occurs.

An electrical short can cause the battery to deplete very rapidly and without warning. If the batteries were manufactured from April of 2001 to December of 2003, this defect may exist. Many patients still have defibrillators with these batteries installed. Four models of the Medtronic devices use these batteries.

Medtronic has provided doctors with a list of affected patients but allowed doctors to decide what action to take.
