    Recalling Organisation: Boston Scientific NZ Ltd, Level 1, 3 Diamond Street, Newton, Auckland
  • Causa
    The manufacturer has included important programming information to prevent an unintended asynchronous biventricular (biv) pacing behavior when tracking elevated atrial intrinsic rhythms in certain 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.

  • 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.”
