Picture this: you’re sitting in your living room, watching the nightly news. Then, out of the blue, your chest feels off: not really painful, but you get the sense that something isn’t quite right. Then, your heart skips a beat, and then never really regains its regular rhythm. Shortly after, the dizziness washes over you, and the blackness swallows the edges of your vision, and before you know it, you wake up inside an ambulance with paramedics informing you that your pacemaker stopped working. Well, this scenario isn’t some fantasy fiction we just made up, but a reality that has occurred to thousands of patients fitted with the Boston Scientific ACCOLADE pacemakers that have now been deemed defective due to a faulty battery issue.
What’s worse is that Boston Scientific not only knew about this defect, but they also chose not to let you know about it, as well as pushed a product that could cause egregious harm and even death, all for the almighty dollar. Basically, Boston Scientific bet your life on the house and thought that if anything were to happen, they already have a fund to pay out any affected patients as well as any cases that arose out of a class action lawsuit as long as they kept drawing a profit. The FDA has already reported 2500 adverse events and four deaths, but we surmise that the number may be much higher as the truth behind the Boston Scientific pacemaker comes to light. If you’ve been affected by this, you may have a valid claim and we can help you recover compensation in the form of damages – read on to find out how.

How to Know Your Pacemaker is Faulty Before it Fails
If you are curious about whether your Boston pacemaker is affected by the defect, the first thing you want to do is to take a look at your device identification card that was provided to you by your hospital or cardiologist at the time of implantation. This card contains the brand name, model and serial numbers of your Boston Scientific pacemaker.
Here are the ACCOLADE pacemaker models affected by the battery defect:
- The ACCOLADE pacemaker family that ends in 110,111,112,113,114 and 115 as well as the MRI ACCOLADE models for patients needing future magnetic imaging resonance procedures
- The PROACCOLADE family with model numbers similar to the ones above.
- The ESSENTIO and ALTRUA 2 pacemakers that use similar battery cathode technology
- The CRT-P or cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers that were manufactured adjacent to the ACCOLADE family
What to Do If Your Device is on this List
If your device is named in the list above and experienced fatigue, dizziness and light-headedness as well as shortness of breath and a sensation of either palpitations or fluttering, contact your cardiologist immediately so you can have an in-person interrogation where a wand is placed over your chest so data is downloaded from your pacemaker to determine the status of the battery and any instances of Safety Mode activation.
