The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified an Abbott Laboratories (ABT) June recall of certain Ellipse Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators as a Class I recall.

The FDA said 108 devices were recalled in the U.S. because of a faulty manufacturing process that caused some wires to be partially exposed.

Abbott isn't aware of any reports of device failure in implanted devices, the FDA said.
