Plain-English summary
Boston Scientific CRM Corp is recalling one unit of the ENERGEN DR ICD, Model E143, an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator. The recall is limited to a single device with serial number 108063. Four other devices of this model were implanted but are not part of this action.
The recall was initiated after Boston Scientific's manufacturing quality system discovered test artifacts related to shock charge time in a small number of these devices.

These findings require further investigation.
The affected device was distributed in the state of Tennessee. Patients with this specific device should contact their healthcare provider for further evaluation and instructions.
