> St Jude Medical Cardiac Rhythm Management Division has begun a Class 1 recall of its Optisure Dual Coil Defibrillation Leads, Model Numbers LDA220, LDA220Q, LDA230Q, and LDP220Q, which are designed for long term attachment to an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. A [recall notice](http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRes/res.cfm?ID=141537&ref=fdaweb.com) says leads may have been compromised during the manufacturing process, with cuts in the insulation layer of the shock coil.
