It has been found that some of the defibrillation leads has been involved in the death of five patients and as a result, Medtronic Inc has removed the Sprint Fidelis defibrillation product from the market. It is observed that the defibrillation leads has the potential to cause fracture or some serious injuries including death.
Defibrillators are devices to regulate the heartbeat of a person. It is said that if a fracture occurs in the defibrillator lead, then it could cause the defibrillator to not operate at all or deliver shocks that are unnecessary to the heart. As a result, Medtronic has asked doctors not to implant the leads and return the unused ones.
The Defibrillator Lead Recall is for the models at risk Sprint which are Fidelis 6930, Sprint Fidelis 6931, Sprint Fidelis 6948 and Sprint Fidelis 6949.
