What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as a Class II recall. The hazard involves the potential loss of function of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, which is a significant risk to patient safety and aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury risk or structural defects in medical devices.
