  • Causa
    Boston scientific has been made aware of unintended asynchronous biventricular (biv) pacing behavior when tracking elevated atrial intrinsic rhythms in certain boston scientific cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) pacemakers (crt-ps) and defibrillators (crt-ds). repeated detection of this unintended asynchronous biv pacing behavior may result in the implanted device reverting to a permanent safety mode (safety core™) status thus requiring early replacement.
  • Acción
    Doctors should review programming records of patients implanted with the CRT devices described in Appendix B of the letter. If the LV Offset parameter is programmed to a Positive value, follow the supplied instructions to determine the need for changing the pacemaker settings. Boston encourages doctors to provide the patient letter to all patients who are implanted with an affected device, and to patients who consent to having the device implanted before the software fix is available. Maintain awareness of this issue until the software fix becomes available, and display this letter in a prominent place. If a positive LV Offset is desired for a newly implanted Boston Scientific CRT device, consider the patient’s individual medical needs and either program the A-Blank after V-Pace value greater than the positive LV Offset value, or disable Tracking Preference by programming it to a value of “OFF”.

  • Comentario del fabricante
    “We take a patient-first approach to assessing the applicability of every recall and communicate to regulatory bodies in all geographies where the recalled device is sold,” Boston Scientific said in a statement to ICIJ. “We have coordinated several recalls across many countries in a timely manner,” the company said, adding that it complies with all national laws, which can often vary and require different processes for reporting information or taking action on recalls. The company said it uses a rigorous and uniform process to take action on recalls and that “when we initiate a field action (e.g. recall, safety alert), every customer who has received an affected product receives a communication that includes a letter for the physician.”
