Boston Scientific is recalling the EMBLEM S-ICD because a manufacturing process may allow moisture to get inside the defibrillator and cause a short-circuit when it tries to deliver high voltage shocks. If this happens during use, patients may experience less shock than intended or may not receive a shock at all. The device may also beep, not respond to a device check in, and issue battery alerts. Information and Resources can be found on the FDA website.
