Medtronic Defibrillator Defective Sprint Fidelis Lead Recall

Medtronic, effective immediately, has suspended all sales of its implantable defibrillators which contain and include the Sprint Fidelis leads due to risk of electrical shock. Medtronic on October 15 has warned doctors that the wires connecting a patient’s heart to the defibrillator have been reported to break too often.

Medtronic informed all doctors to immediately cease the use of the “Sprint Fidelis” wires after linking at least five deaths to breaks in the wires or leads.  Medtronic has reported that the Fidelis wires fail more often then the thicker wires which the Fidelis wires replaced.  The problem does not effect Medtronic pacemakers.

The Fidelis wire or lead is used in about sixty percent of Medtronic defibrillator implants.  The problem is that the wire which connects the defibrillator to the heart could fracture inside a blood vessel delivering a massive electrical jolt.  If this occurs it will cause extreme pain or even death.  The Sprint Fidelis lead has been implanted with the Medtronic defibrillators since 2004.
