In 2016 i was diagnosed with heart failure and the doctors at the time told me i needed a pacemaker/defibrillator medically installed because my ejection fraction was below 20 percent and i could die by sudden cardiac arrest without it.The doctors installed a medtronic pacemaker/defibrillator that i later just this year found that was on the fda recall list.My serial number is listed on there for the battery not functioning properly.They knew this as of (b)(6) 2021 and did not tell me or warn me that i may need a replacement unit because of the problem they found and the unit may not function when needed.On (b)(6) at 8:12 pm i found out the hard way that the device did not work as i had a sudden cardiac arrest and the device did not fire.My heart stopped and if my wife would not have been there when i passed out to call 911 and perform cpr i wouldn't be here today.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
