Boston Scientific safety alert

I googled your query and found some information about a safety alert on the website of the Australian TGA (equivalent to the FDA in the US). Here is the link;

https://www.tga.gov.au/alert/boston-scientific-pacemakers-and-defibrillators

This was issued just before Christmas so I'm not sure if this is the same as your situation. I believe safety warnings do happen quite commonly with all brands but usually there is a fix available and it sounds like this is the case here too.

 

software fix?

I haven't looked this one up but St Judes has had  one for a while. it's just a preventative software fix. No one has had a problem and they update it when they interrogate. 

You know you're wired when...

You invested in the Energizer battery company.
