Another Medtronic recall
involved the Micro Jewel® II Model 7223Cx and the GEM® DR
Model 7271. This Medtronic recall occurred on April 16th
2004, was made because these units could have defective
high voltage capacitors. As a result of this defect, the
capacitors may take longer than normal to charge. This
delay in charging could cause a resultant delay in the
delivery of the electrical pulse therapy.
All of these recalls are considered Class I recalls by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Class I recalls are
the most serious type because they involve a reasonable
probability that continued use of the product will result
in either serious injury or death.
