Anyone's Pacemaker been on a recall list

Having read through a post about PM recalls which I had no idea about and out of curiosity I checked mine. Turns out my particular model number was on the recent recall list produced in September 2024. The issue noted was with battery life.

I've not had any contact from my pacing clinic and do have a bedside monitor. So I'm suspecting there is no issue.

Is it worth queuring or just wait and see if contacted.

My husband's ICD was on a recall list in 2022/23, he was called into the pacing clinic to have it updated with new software. I would contact your pacing clinic and ask if you'll be called in, it may be that as it's a battery issue and doesn't affect how it works then they'll just make you aware that the battery may not last a long as expected.

I suggest you contact your pacing clinic. I have the same ICD as Lezzers’ husband, and it just needed a software update.

Thankyou I actually called this morning and as suspected as Lezzers mentioned they are keeping an eye on it as it's just a battery issues. Makes it easier for them to do that as I have home monitor.
