About Sprint Fidelis® Leads

Sprint Fidelis® Leads are cardiac electrodes produced by Medtronic, Inc. They connect an implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator to the patient's heart.

The Sprint Fidelis® Lead is designed to give protection when heart rhythms that are interpreted by the device as being potentially hazardous to health occur.

If possibly-life-threatening heart-rhythms are determined, the Sprint Fidelis® Lead delivers an electrical shock, which restores normal heart rhythm, and which prevents the heart from beating in an erratic fashion.

Side-Effects

In October 2007, Medtronic, Inc. released a statement that it was suspending its distribution of the Sprint Fidelis defibrillation leads. This statement included reference to four Sprint Fidelis® Lead models which were numbered: 6930, 6931, 6948, and 6949.

In addition, Medtronic, Inc. advised physicians they should halt the implantation of the leads in patients.

Medtronic, Inc.'s actions resulted from the threat of lead-fracturing in their products. In addition, a possibility existed that potential fracturing could cause the defibrillators to either (a) deliver an un-needed shock to the patient; or, (b) fail to work at all.
