In October 2007, Medtronic voluntarily recalled various Sprint Fidelis models of wire leads as some are found to be defective. Reports have caused some deaths and Medtronic called off the specific lead wires in the market. If you have a Sprint Fidelis lead wired implant, then check if you have any of the model numbers considered to have possible defects. If you have the Sprint Fidelis or Medtronic 6949 model, then you have to be more watchful for the possible effects as well as for certain health risks. Other models which have also been recalled are the Sprint Fidelis 6948, Sprint Fidelis 6930 and the Sprint Fidelis 6931. If you, your loved one or anyone you know have any of these wire lead models, then consider consulting your doctor first.

In some cases, the Medtronic leads need not be removed as this can also open to other risks.
