Boston Scientific/Guidant Pacemakers and Guidant Cardiac Defibrillators Recalls
Guidant Pacemakers Recall
In
July 2005, thousands of Guidant pacemakers were recalled because of a defective “sealing component” that allowed fluid
to leak into the device. The recall notice warns patients and doctors that
the faulty pacemakers may need to be replaced, requiring another
surgery.
Guidant Cardiac Defibrillators Recall
In
June 2005, Guidant recalled nearly 80,000 of its cardiac defibrillators
because of defects that could lead to serious injury and death. Reports
indicate that approximately 38,000 of the recalled defibrillators were
implanted in patients throughout the United States.
