  • Causa
    1) unexpected loss of stimulation may occur under the following conditions: - switching from a group with two programs to a group with three or four programs where a non-negative contact is shared within the programmed groups. - creating program groups (activa sc only) when a second program is created for the first time. 2) under a specific set of conditions (activa sc - models 37602 / 37603 are not affected), typically related to device recovery from an over discharge, there is a potential for over stimulation or stimulation directed to a lead electrode other than what was intended: - device reaches a power on reset (por) state. a por may be detected during interrogation with the patient or physician programmer. the patient will experience loss of therapy if a por occurs. - 'therapy off' command is sent (by patient programmer, insr, or 'therapy-stop' button on the 8840 clinician programmer) to device while the device is making an automatic periodic battery measurement.

    “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.
