Here's a link to the FDA's information page about lithium battery problems in some St Jude ICD and CRT-D models manufactured before May 2015:

I have Googled and found the St Jude Patient Support Page Cutestuff refers to: https://www.sjm.com/en/patients/arrhythmias/resources-support/battery-advisory

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
Go to Patient and Support on St Jude Medical Website.

Go to St. Jude Medical's patient support page, and it will have a page where you can put in your make and model and it can tell you if there is a recall or concern with it. I would have put the url but my internet security would not let me paste it. Good Luck
