Patient Check List

How to find out if you have a Sprint Fidelis® lead (Models 6930, 6931, 6948, 6949):
Your Patient ID card should contain one of the following 4 sets of numbers: 6930, 6931, 6948, 6949. These numbers may be shown at the beginning of a longer set of numbers on your ID card.

What should you do, if you have a Sprint Fidelis lead:

• The chance there is a problem with your lead is small.

• If you have not already heard from your doctor’s office regarding this matter, we encourage you to contact your doctor’s office.

• You are more likely to experience complications from removal than from a problem with your Sprint Fidelis lead. However, your doctor may choose to change the way your device is programmed to help reduce any potential problems. An independent panel of physician experts recommends against replacing Sprint Fidelis leads except in very unusual circumstances.

If you experience any unexplained changes to your health or physical symptoms:
We encourage you to contact your doctor’s office.

Should you have questions about your implantable defibrillator or pacemaker device:
This information applies to the Sprint Fidelis lead only, not your implanted defibrillator or pacemaker device.
