St Jude Medical Inc. recalled 10 products on 2017-10-25

Products: 10
Announced: 2017-10-25

Why these products were recalled

New pacemaker firmware was developed to further mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to our pacemakers that utilize radio frequency (RF) communications.

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.
