We have put together important and helpful resources to support you as you receive your arrhythmia diagnosis, get treatment and go on to live a full and active life.

While the best source of information about your arrhythmia and your treatment is your doctor, our resources can help you better understand what having an arrhythmia can involve, and what life after treatment can be like.

PATIENT ID CARD

If you have an Abbott pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, you will receive a patient ID card that you can show at airport security checkpoints and any time you need medical help. It is important for you to update us about changes in your personal information for your ID card.

ICD AND CRT-D BATTERY ADVISORY

August 29, 2017 – At Abbott, we put your health and safety at the heart of everything we do. As part of Abbott’s commitment to continuous improvement, we have recently released an update designed to provide physicians with earlier warning of the potential for premature battery depletion in your implantable defibrillator. Find out more about the battery performance alert.

In October 2016 Abbott announced a global medical device advisory for a subset of our company’s implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices for what is termed “premature battery depletion”. Low voltage devices, such as pacemakers, are not impacted. The likelihood that this will impact your health is low, as the vast majority of devices have not experienced premature battery depletion.
