“We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.

The bar code scanner must be configured to match the keyboard language being used. In its default configuration set by the manufacturer (Jadak), the scanner is in English format. If a keyboard other than the English keyboard is being used, the user is required to use the scanner to scan an appropriate language configuration bar code provided in the User's Guide to match the language of the keyboard.
