Did You Know?
Guidant distributed about 78,000 pacemakers, about 18,000 of which are still in use in U.S. patients. The devices, which send electrical pulses to the heart to accelerate a slow heartbeat, have a seven- to 10-year life span before they must be replaced.

FDA advises patients to take the following steps:
- If you have not already been notified, contact your doctor to determine if you have an affected PRIZM 2, CONTAK RENEWAL, or CONTAK RENEWAL 2 device.
- Continue to keep your regular doctor appointments.
- If you feel an electrical shock from your device, immediately contact your doctor.
If there is an audible "beeping" from your CONTAK RENEWAL or RENEWAL 2 device, immediately contact your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room. Beeping may mean that your defibrillator is damaged.
There were approximately 45 malfunctions and two deaths associated with this short circuit.
