Why these products were recalled

Radiated Radiofrequency (RF) emissions of the CardioMEMS Patient Electronics Systems (PES) Models CM1000, CM1010 and CM1100 and CardioMEMS Hospital Electronics Systems (HES) Model CM3000 exceed certain emissions limits and have the potential to cause interference with other medical devices, such as implantable neurostimulators, pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators, continuous glucose monitors, or other bio-wearable sensors when in close proximity to an active Hospital or Patient Electronics System (i.e., during readings).

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.
