Critical wiring errors in Guidant defibrillators may cause a short circuit which can overload their delicate wiring, rendering them inoperable.

Those at the greatest risk should immediately consult their doctors and continue to have checkups every three months to ensure that the devices are still working properly.

The Food and Drug Administration released a statement stating that they did not require Guidant to recall its products, but that they nevertheless supported the decision to address such serious allegations. The fact that this issue was finally addressed is of small comfort to the 50,000 people who continue to live in constant fear that their life-saving medical equipment may fail them when they need it the most.
