  • Cause
    St. jude medical (sjm) has received complaints that extended charge time may present as a result of internal damage to the capacitors used in the high voltage charging circuitry of the subject devices. as designed, the device will deliver the available energy on the capacitors once the charge time limit of 32 seconds is reached, even if the energy is less than the programmed value. this anomaly may occur during capacitor maintenance or charging for high voltage therapy, and may result in delayed delivery of high voltage therapy and/or delivery of part of a programmed high voltage therapy shock. there have been no reported cases of an ellipse device failing to deliver high voltage therapy to a patient when needed.
  • Action
    St. Jude Medical is providing appropriate patient management recommendations to surgeons for managing patients who are implanted with affected devices. Device replacement is not recommended for an Ellipse device exhibiting normal charge times, and patients should continue to be followed at routine follow-up intervals. Surgeons are advised not to use any Ellipse devices which may be on their shelves. St. Jude Medical is advising customers that the affected stock will be retrieved and replaced by new Ellipse ICDs with the redesigned high voltage capacitor eliminating the source of capacitor damage at the front alignment hole. Ellipse ICDs with serial numbers beginning with the number “1” and starting at 1132470, as well as Ellipse ICDs with serial numbers beginning with the number “7” and starting with 7126267 incorporate the new capacitors and therefore, no affected. This action has been closed-out on 03/02/2017.

  • Commentaire du fabricant
    “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.
