Medtronic Heart Defibrillators Recalled

November 15th, 2007 by Amy Gunn

Minnesota-based Medtronic Inc. has recalled its heart defibrillators because of design problems with the electronic wires known as Sprintfedelis leads that connect the defibrillators to the patients’ hearts.  The Medtronic defibrillators were implanted in more than a quarter-million patients.  The wires can fracture causing them to malfunction.  At least five deaths have been alleged to have been caused by the malfunctioning wires.
