A Warning from the FDA: Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Leads Could be Dangerous

According to the FDA, 268,000 people may have defective Medtronic Sprint Fidelis leads implanted in their bodies. These faulty leads, used to attach implantable defibrillators to the body, "...can cause the defibrillator to deliver unnecessary shocks or not operate at all..." The risk of heart failure is something of which you should be aware.

Medtronic, Inc. has stopped distribution of its Sprint Fidelis Leads worldwide. As the FDA has stated, "some deaths and major complications have occurred after the leads have fractured."

The right lawyer at the law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg can help you. Heart patients with Medtronic implants, those who have undergone replacement surgeries, or who have suffered emotional injuries due to malfunctioning defibrillators should complete the form below for a free case review.
