Why these products were recalled

As of 11/30/2011, St. Jude Medical has received 110 patient complaints of warmth or heating at the implantable pulse generators (IPGs) implant site during charging for the Eon IPG and 116 reports of similar symptoms for the Eon Mini IPG, respectively.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
