CardioMEMS Patient Electronics System Recalled for Excessive Radiofrequency Emissions
CardioMEMS heart-failure monitoring devices are recalled due to radiofrequency emissions that can interfere with other medical devices like pacemakers when operating nearby.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall involving a risk-of-harm product. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard—potential electromagnetic interference with critical implanted devices like pacemakers and defibrillators—is theoretical but poses significant risk. Per the severity rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score 3 (High).
Plain-English summary
The CardioMEMS HF System Patient Electronics System (PES) Model CM1100 is being recalled by St. Jude Medical. The device emits radiofrequency (RF) energy that exceeds established regulatory limits.
The excessive RF emissions have the potential to cause interference with other medical devices, including implantable neurostimulators, pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators, continuous glucose monitors, and bio-wearable sensors when those devices are in close proximity during active CardioMEMS readings.
The CardioMEMS system is used for monitoring and managing heart failure by measuring pulmonary artery pressure. Approximately 34,905 units have been distributed worldwide across multiple countries including the United States.
