Medtronic Recall


Defective Medtronic Lead Recall

Medtronic has voluntarily removed its Sprint Fidelis defibrillation lead from the marketplace following reports of fractured leads and several patients’ deaths. The Medtronic lead recall affects patients with specific model numbers of their leads which are contained on your patient ID card.

Sprint Fidelis Model Numbers

Medtronic leadsThe following model numbers of the Sprint Fidelis family of defibrillator leads have been recalled:

Sprint Fidelis 6930
Sprint Fidelis 6931
Sprint Fidelis 6948
Sprint Fidelis 6949

The Medtronic Sprint Fidelis recall does not mean that every lead will break. However, patients are encouraged to contact their doctor to discuss the different options regarding how to best manage the potential for lead fractures and the complications of removal of the leads. The FDA is not recommending that all Medtronic leads that are part of this recall be automatically removed. Instead, patients should weight the benefits and risks of continuing to use the lead or removal with their doctor.

If a Sprint Fidelis defibrillator lead fractures, the lead can send false signals causing the defibrillator to deliver inappropriate shocks or jolts or a needed shock may not be delivered. There is currently no reliable test to determine which Medtronic leads will potentially fracture.
