Guidant Recall News
June 24, 2005
Guidant released a statement on June 24, 2005 stating that it is voluntarily advising physicians about important
safety information regarding certain devices. It is Guidant’s
recommendation to doctors that they consider programming “Enable
Magnet Use” to “OFF” to ensure that appropriate
therapy to treat ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias will be
provided in the event that the magnetic switch becomes stuck in the
closed position. In addition, patients should contact their physicians
or go to the hospital emergency room immediately if they hear tones
from their device.
