Go to St. Jude Medical's patient support page, and it will have a page where you can put in your make and model and it can tell you if there is a recall or concern with it.  I would have put the url but my internet security  would not let me paste it.  Good Luck

Here's a link to the FDA's information page about lithium battery problems in some St Jude  ICD and CRT-D models manufactured before May 2015:

I have Googled and found the St Jude Patient Support Page Cutestuff refers to: https://www.sjm.com/en/patients/arrhythmias/resources-support/battery-advisory
