In October 2007, Medtronic voluntarily called for their Sprint Fidelis defibrillator lead wires because of some potential risks. Some models of the Sprint Fidelis lead wires were foun to be defective, thus, causing risks to patients who have had implants with such models. These particular models which were covered by the lead wire recall include the Sprint Fidelis 6948 and 6949, and the Sprint Fidelis 6930 and 6931. You can check your lead wire model in the patient health card issued at the hospital where you had your heart implant.



If you are one of those who have the Sprint Fidelis defective model or if your loved one has been implanted with such lead wire, then it would be advisable that you consult your doctor for the possible options that you can consider in order to avoid health problems or life risk. Aside from consulting your octor, it would also be helpful to face the option of filing a Sprint Fidelis lead lawsuit for the potential damages and risks you might face as well as to the losses and suffering you have already experienced.

If you have the defective lead defibrillator implanted in your body, then you are subjected to possible health risks as the defective wires can cause certain sufferings and losses. It has to made clear, though, that not all of the above mentioned lead wires in such models will fail. What is clear is that with such Sprint Fidelis lead wire models, there will always be potential risk for you and your loved ones.

Having to file for a lawsuit is fit for those who have already incurred suffering or losses relate to the defective defibrillator lead wires. Some patients' families have lost their loved ones because of the defects and wire fractures. Some have suffered greatly with the failure of the lead wire implants. If you or your love one has suffered from fainting, palpitations, multiple shocks and lighhtheadedness, then these can be symptoms related to the defective Sprint Fidelis defibrillators. These happen because some of the defibrillator wires are fractured.

In cases where the Sprint Fidelis lead wires are indeed defective, the potential problems include failure to send the necessary shocks or jolts to the patient's heart during appropriate times. Another example of failure would be when false alarms trigger the wire implant to send unnecessary shocks and jolts to the patient's heart. In any of these cases, the patient suffers from the risk of losing one's life or in unnecessary suffering. If you have any of the defective Sprint Fidelis defibrillator wires, then facing the class action lawsuit can give you compensation based on your suffering or losses.

If you are a victim to these defective Sprint Fidelis lead wire fibrillators, then you should consider filing a lawsuit. While the Medtronic or Sprint Fidelis lawsuits are handled by Minnesota courts as multi district lawsuits, your case will still be handled individually by expert Medtronic lawsuit attorneys. Have your case be reviewed by a Medtronic case lawyer so you can know how to go about your particular Sprint Fidelis case.
