Guidant Recall
Are you one of the thousands left scared and confused after the recent Guidant defibrillator recall? It is believed that approximately 38,000 defibrillators have been implanted in patients in the United States. Are you one of these victims, forced to live in fear that you might suffer a fatal effect due to a defective defibrillator?
The Guidant defibrillator problems began when the company discovered that the insulation on some of the wiring in three models of Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators could accidentally short out and prevent the unit from functioning properly. Instead of halting production and recalling the units, Guidant decided to continue to sell faulty devices and address the malfunction in later models.
There were approximately 45 malfunctions and two deaths associated with this short circuit. Guidant later announced that an additional four models have memory programming errors that may prevent them from delivering the therapy they are intended to perform. The recall not only affects the 50,000 people who have these life-saving devices, but anyone who has faith in trust in the medical device industry.
