New York Sprint Fidelis-Medtronic Lead
Accident Attorneys
On Oct. 15, 2007, Medtronic suspended all sales of Sprint Fidelis leads. The electrical wire, integral to pacemaker functionality, has been recalled because of a reported defect that is potentially fatal to those implanted with the device. The wire serves as the bridge between a person’s heart and an implanted defibrillator.
It is believed that in many cases the wire spontaneously fractures, releasing an electrical shock that can be extremely painful and potentially fatal.Medtronic has also urged any patient that was implanted with one of these leads to seek immediate medical attention to get the lead removed. It is estimated that nearly 235,000 people across the world have been implanted with these devices. Five deaths so far are being blamed on defective Sprint Fidelis-Medtronic leads. Medical device manufacturers owe you a duty of care and when they fail to adequately measure and react to defective products, they are negligent and must be held responsible.
