Texas Medtronic Defibrillator
Lawyer
From the
FDA recall and the Medtronic press
release, the Medtronic Inc. Sprint
Fidelis®
Defibrillator Leads are being
recalled because a small number of
fractures have been detected. When
the lead breaks (fractures), it may
cause inappropriate shocks or result
in a loss of therapy, such as pacing
or shocking. The Medtronic Inc.
Sprint Fidelis® Defibrillator Leads,
model numbers 6930, 6931, 6948 and
6949 manufactured from September
2004 through October 15, 2007 are
the products which are included in
the recall. Patients who are
implanted with the Medtronic Inc.
Sprint Fidelis® Defibrillator Leads
are encouraged to contact their
physicians for further information.
In the
event where a lead fractures:
-the
lead may cause an unneeded
defibrillator shock
-needed therapies (pacing or shocks)
may not be delivered
-the defibrillator battery may not
function properly when a shock is
needed
