Medtronic lead fractures have been reported in several cases. The defective leads
can cause inappropriate shocks or malfunction which can cause patients to die. These
reports led to the Medtronic lead recall. The defibrillator leads are electrical
wires that connect the hearts of patients to the defibrillators implanted in their
chests. The Medtronic defibrillator lead recall may affect patients with
defibrillators implanted since September 2004. The FDA has advised such patients to
check their patient ID cards to ascertain that they have received a Medtronic lead
containing any of the following 4 sets of numbers: 6930, 6931, 6948 and 6949 and
contact their physicians immediately if they experience multiple shocks,
lightheadedness, fainting or palpitations.
