One of the fastest-growing medical devices in use in the United States, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (IDCs) are implanted in the chests of heart patients to monitor and regulate heartbeat by generating electrical pulses. While IDCs are commonplace, with as many as 200,000 patients in the US estimated to have received one in 2005, they are complex devices and can malfunction for a variety of reasons. The average IDC lasts seven to ten years before needing to be replaced. However, depleted batteries and faulty memory chips have resulted in product recalls requiring patients to undergo more frequent replacement surgeries. Companies which have recalled IDCs include Guidant Corp., Medtronic Inc. and St. Jude Medical.
