  • Causa
    The manufacturer through routine electrical tests has identified faults originating in the manufacturing process, by assembling slightly larger vibrators that could damage the insulation coating of the high voltage capacitor, which would cause a narrowing of the distance between the two adjacent components, resulting in possible leakage of electrical current or an electric arc between the high-voltage capacitor and these components, leading to the occurrence of potential adverse events on patients.

  • Comentario del fabricante
    “We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.
