Hi again,

Not to alarm everyone, but I did want to make sure the community is aware of a bad batch of defibrillators produced by Medtronic. The recall was released yesterday I believe.  It only affected 48 devices in the United States, so the chances are low that it's yours. But do please check the serial number on your patient ID card that was given to you to see if it matches the serial numbers provided in the link below. If you have lost your card, you can always call Medtronic at 1800-328-2518 to see if your device is on the recall. If your serial number happens to be on the list, schedule an appointment with your cardiologist/electrophysiologist right away.
