Medtronic Defibrilator Recall
I'm dropping this here for those who follow our blog. We have decided to look into cases involving the Medtronic Defilbriltor recall. While it is not related to cerebral palsy, it is something our firm is looking at.
On October 15, 2007 Medtronic, a manufacturer of implantable defibrillators, has recalled the Sprint Fidelis leads (electrodes) used in its products. Additionally, the company recommends against new implants of the leads (Sprint Fidelis Models: 6930, 6931, 6948, 6949). Medtronic has identified five patient deaths in which a Sprint Fidelis lead failure may have been a likely or contributing cause in that death.
We are looking at cases where there is a required replacement of an Implantable Cardiover Defibrillators (ICD's) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-D's) or the Sprint Fidelis Leads, or if there is an injury related to these defibrillators.
