Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

The firm is advising physicians that exposure to sub-freezing temperatures during the supply chain process caused a transient battery voltage drop for a small number of Confirm Rx Model DM3500 Insertable Cardiac Monitoring (ICM) devices. This drop is an expected and normal behavior for this battery chemistry, but causes an incorrect display of a low battery indicator even after the battery voltage returns to normal.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
