News Article Excerpt
  
July 2, 2005
Associated Press, "Guidant defibrillator recall becomes more urgent"
       More than 20,600 Guidant Corp. cardiac defibrillators recalled last month have a malfunction that could cause serious injury or death, federal regulators said Friday in classifying the devices as the most urgent recall priority.
       The Food and Drug Administration is not urging the recalled defibrillators be removed but recommended patients contact their doctors to decide the appropriate next steps.
GUIDANT DEFIBRILLATORS: POSSIBLE DANGER Class 1 (most serious) recall: Ventak Prizm 2 DR (model 1861), Contak Renewal (model H135) and Contak Renewal 2 (model H155.)Class II (any injury caused by a malfunction should be temporary or reversible) recall: Guidant models Ventak Prizm AVT, Vitality AVT, Renewal AVT, Contak Renewal 3 and 4, Renwal 3 and 4 AVT and Renewal RF.
          Indianapolis-based Guidant, which has a $25.4 billion acquisition offer pending from New Brunswick, N.J.-based Johnson & Johnson, recalled a series of defibrillators last month. The new FDA action lists three models as Class I recalls, the most serious type — a move that might help doctors in deciding how aggressively to notify and treat their patients.
