    We recommend immediate replacement of the charger for patients who report or have reported excessive heating during charging: - For other patients, replacement of the charger is suggested at the next visit. - After the replacement, the proper operation of the Eon Mini LE Model 3722 Charger must be confirmed. In case of difficulties with the operation of the Eon Mini Model 3722 Charger, due to the depth of the implant, the patient should continue to use the Mini Model 3721 Eon Charger (eg older charger), following the precautions provided in the July letter of 2012. These precautions are as follows: - If the temperature at the implant site becomes uncomfortable during loading: - Stop the recharge until the discomfort disappears and then continue recharging; - Reposition the antenna over the implant site; - Consider a more frequent and shorter recharge; - If the temperature is still uncomfortable, please contact your doctor, SJM representative, or St. Jude Medical Brazil technicians. - Avoid pressing the antenna between the body and a surface that can retain heat, such as a bed or a chair. - The use of topical anesthetics, balsamic medicine, and / or pain relief adhesives at the implant site before or during loading is not recommended as it may reduce the ability to perceive heat or excessive heating near or at the implant site. - Do not carry the device while sleeping. - Do not consume alcohol immediately before or during loading.

    In collaboration with the Medical Advisory Committee of St. Jude Medical, the company recommends:  Do not implant affected unused devices.  Perform routine follow-up of patients according to standard practice.  We have included a "Patient Notification Letter" attached to this letter, so you can provide your patients with information to help them with this event.  Prophylactic replacement of the device is NOT recommended because the rates of device replacement complications are greater than the risk rate associated with premature battery depletion due to the short lithium deposits induced (see appendix for selected references ).  In the case of an ERI indicator on these devices, it is recommended that they be replaced immediately. At this time, there is no factor, method, or test to identify devices with this form of premature battery depletion near the ERI or to accurately predict the remaining battery life once the ERI appears.  Physicians should reaffirm the availability of remote monitoring to avoid or minimize time without device therapy for bradycardia and tachycardia events.  Enroll patients on the Merlin.net system using the "Direct Alerts" feature to receive immediate alert notification if the ERI is reached. For patients currently enrolled in Merlin.net, remind them of the importance of using remote monitoring.  Review the most recent printing of the programmed parameters (see annex with an example).  Make sure that in the "Trigger Alerts When" section that the "Device at ERI" parameter is set to "ON" (the nominal is "ON") for both "Show on FastPath" and "Notify Patient" options. "Device at ERI" is set to OFF, it is recommended that the patient is promptly seen to program this parameter to ON  Inform patients that an exchange prompt (ERI) triggers a vibrating alert. the patient's device to determine if an ERI alert has been triggered.Perature premature battery depletion can be identified by remote monitoring showing ERI or advanced battery drainage  Perform a test on the patient's vibratory notifier to confirm that it can feel, and acknowledge this alert  Patients who can not feel the vibrating alert may not know that your device has run out of battery and / or function capacity  Advise the patient to enter contact your clinic immediately if they feel the vibrating alert  Face-to-face assessment should be performed to determine the reason for the alert, as other non-critical events can also trigger a vibrating alert.

    Information for physicians to manage patients who will receive an implant or who already had an implanted HM3 device: • During the implant, by fitting the Outflow Graft to the Pump Cap, a click sound should be heard while the Screw Ring is being tightened. Continue to rotate the screw ring clockwise until it stops completely and stop making click sound for a tight hand tight connection. • If a low-flow alarm persists at any time after implantation, and other potential causes such as hypertension, low preload, right heart failure, and influx occlusion were considered as cause, computed tomography (CT) angiography should be performed to identify possibility of occlusion of the graft of the graft output. • If surgical repair of the exit graft is necessary due to a torsion occlusion, the flexion relief of the exit graft must be reconnected in its original state or repaired to avoid further folds or occlusion of the graft. Physicians who manage patients who exhibit a persistent low-flow alarm should determine home-based patient care recommendations based on a single clinical case. If you wish to notify technical complaints and adverse events use the following channels: Notivisa: Notices of adverse events (AE) and technical complaints (QT) for products subject to Sanitary Surveillance should be made through the NOTIVISA System.

    The company st. jude medical has detected a low frequency related to a specific supplier's static random access memory chip used in the following st. jude medical cardiac defibrillators: photon dr (model v-230hv) (certain serial numbers); photon micro vr / dr (models v-194 / v-232); atlas vr / dr (models v-199 / v-240). this anomaly may cause a temporary loss of the stimulation function and permanent loss of the defibrillation support. this occurred because the said memory chip could be affected by the cosmic background radiation that reaches the earth. it is common knowledge that cosmic background radiation constantly bombards the earth. while the earth's atmosphere acts as a shield and absorbs much of this cosmic radiation, some amount of high energy particles hits the earth. st. jude medical has determined that when the static access memory (sram) chip is exposed to background levels of atmospheric ionizing cosmic radiation it can cause a high current drain state, causing the problem described above. according to the company, in brazil, 1028 of these devices were implanted.

    The company forwarded to the doctors responsible for the implantation of these devices in Brazil a letter alerting them to the problem and with instructions on how to proceed, as follows: • "If it is not already part of your current practice, doctors should routinely monitor the device every 3 months for patients with the affected models listed above. "•" In determining whether additional follow-up will be necessary, consider the low failure rate of the anomaly and the unique and individual needs and medical situations of each patient , including whether the patient is pacemaker dependent or is at high risk of life due to arrhythmias. "•" If a patient's device is detected as in Hardware Reser Mode, you should arrange for replacement of the patient as soon as possible. "•" Continue to provide patients with the usual warnings so they do not miss scheduled appointments and report any changes in symptoms. "

    Since July 2002 around 143,000 CDIS of the EPIC and ATLAS families have been implemented around the world, and around 123000 remain active today. To date, eight devices (among the 143,000) that have lost ventricular sensing have been detected - the risks detrimental to the patient are in the order of 1 in 1 million. The loss of ventricular sensing was attributed to a well-defined but extremely rare timing sequence that occurs in a very short time window (61 microseconds). To date, there have been no reports of injury or death of any patient to St Jude Medical because of the problem cited. According to St. Jude Medical Ltda, a simple software updater of the generator programmer / firmware will solve the problem, being possible, according to information presented by the company, the software update of both implanted equipment and those not yet implemented . For more details, consult the informative letter provided by St. Jude Medical Ltda (http://www.anvisa.gov.br/tecnovigilancia/alertas/anexos_2008/alerta900_carta.pdf). The Anvisa Technovigilance Unit is following up on this case. ## Update (09/03/2009): St. Jude Medical Brasil Ltda informed the UTVIG / Anvisa on 03/12/2008 about the completion of the updating process of the mentioned defibrillators this alert.
