Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I also have a V-243. Just out of curiosity, I have called the law firm and will be interested in what they have to say. Once I have that info, I'll talk to my docs, I think. mac+O'Donnell Family <sunny@...> wrote: I have a V-243, it's listed in the lawsuit website. No problems with mine so far though. How serious are the problems supposed to be? I asked my EP when I first got the ICD what would happen if there were problems with the ICD, he said they usually just leave them in, because going through an ICD change-out is generally more risky than the small chance of a malfunction in most cases.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have on question to all our zappers, I don't know who has them but if anybody got a new Medtronic, Do any of you feel the ICD area heating up? This is important. I am not trying to start a rumor. RegardsTURKO'Donnell Family <sunny@...> wrote: I have a V-243, it's listed in the lawsuit website. No problems with mine so far though.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have a Medtronic device, but I have not had a feeling of it heating up. I will have it in me for a year come December 28. What is going on? Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 ; That depends on the recall. Think about it - if you die then they really have a really big lawsuit on their hands. My Medtronic was recalled 5 most after implant back in 2000, and it was replaced free of charge. It was one of 50 units implanted in the USA. ~guin Re:St. Jude class action lawsuit I have a V-243, it's listed in the lawsuit website. No problems with mine so far though.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Turk, With the ever changing models I think you have to be more specific. I have an Intrinsic model 7288 and have no heating that I notice.
