Guidant VITALITY HE Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (model T180). Sterile EO. Guidant Corporation, Cardiac Rhythm Management, 4100 Hamline Avenue North, St. Paul, MN 55112-5798 USA. This ICD is designed to detect and terminate ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) and provide bradycardia therapy (atrial and ventricular pacing). Therapies include both low- and high-eneergy shocks using either a biphasic or monophasic waveform. Bradycardia pacing, including adaptive-rate features, is available to detect and treat bradyarrhythmias and to support the cardiac rhythm after defibrillation therapy. The device offers dual-chamber bradycardia features (atrial and/or ventricular pacing and sensing).

Guidant CONTAK RENEWAL 4 AVT (model M170). Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D). Sterile EO. Guidant Corporation, 4100 Hamline Avenue North, St. Paul, MN 55112-5798 USA. Cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D) provide both atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmia and cardiac resynchronization therapies. Ventricular tachyarrhythmia therapy is for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), rhythms that are associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). Atrial tachyarrhythmia therapy is for the treatment of supraventricular tachcardia (SVT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Cardiac resynchronization therapy is for the treatment of heart failure (HF) and uses biventricular electrical stimulation to synchronize ventricular contractions. This device also uses accelerometer-based adaptive-rate bradycardia therapy. Cardioversion/defibrillation therapies include a range of low-and high-energy shocks using either a biphasic or monophasic waveform.

“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.”
