    Following a software update the new battery impedance elective replacement indicator (ERI) threshold may trigger an unexpected ERI in some EnRhythm® and EnRhythm MRI™ devices.The manufacturer issued a Field Safety Notice (34Kb) (FSN) in August 2011 with patient management recommendations updated from a previously issued FSN (in February 2010), which informed healthcare professionals about a software update.The software update adds a battery impedance ERI threshold that may trigger an unexpected ERI in some devices. Medtronic’s modelling from collected data estimates that approximately 6–10% of devices may reach ERI within five years of implantation. When ERI is triggered, the device reverts to VVI back-up pacing mode (65 beats per minute) which may not be adequate treatment and may cause symptoms associated with pacemaker syndrome for some patients.These pacemakers are no longer sold in the UK and all devices supplied in the UK reached their use by date by 14 August 2011.
  • Causa
    (medtronic) a software update of the new battery impedance elective replacement indicator (eri) threshold may trigger an unexpected eri. (mda/2011/097).
  • Acción
    Schedule all patients who have received the software update for a follow-up visit to identify devices that triggered ERI shortly after the software update. Patients who have not yet received the software update should be reviewed, and then again within 90 days after the software update to identify if ERI is triggered.  Continue to follow up until device is ready for replacement: every three months if patient is pacemaker dependent, and every six months (or at individual physician’s discretion) if patient is not pacemaker dependent. Schedule device replacement when ERI is triggered.

    “If our surveillance systems identify a potential performance issue, our personnel promptly evaluate the problem, including, when appropriate, conducting root cause investigations and internal testing to assess whether the product continues to meet specifications and defined performance criteria,” Medtronic told ICIJ in a statement. “In some cases, based on this evaluation, Medtronic may determine that a recall is necessary.” The company said that it communicates with healthcare providers and/or patients and provide recommendations to address such issues. Medtronic noted that these communications can include letters, emails, calls, press releases, physician notifications and social media postings, as well as informing the FDA and other regulators of the actions.
