Recalls
Certain pacemakers manufactured by Medtronic have been withdrawn from the market because of wiring problems, the FDA announced.
Of the more than 1.7 million Kappa and Sigma pacemakers implanted worldwide, about 21,300 are included in the recall.
They include devices in the Kappa Series 600/700/900 and Sigma Series 100/200/300 manufactured primarily between November 2000 and November 2002.
