CONTAK RENEWAL

Guidant has ordered a recall for its 16,000 Contak Renewal devices built on or before August 26, 2004, due to a potentially fatal manufacturer defect. A wire insulator on the lead connector block has been shown to deteriorate, causing a short circuit to the titanium case of the device. This defect has caused 15 failures and one death in patients around the world. Any patient with one of these devices is recommended to consult with their medical professional immediately, for the malfunction can cause the device to fail to deliver the proper amount of therapy.
