  • Cause
    The purpose of this action is inform physicians who have implanted or follow patients implanted with dual chamber pacemakers about a rare approximately 1 in 18000 devices measurement lock-up condition that may inappropriately trigger eri/rrt in specific medtronic dual chamber pacemakers. in rare instances these devices exhibit a condition in which the hardware component of the measurement system may lock up resulting in the device declaring eri (elective replacement indicator)/rrt (recommended replacement time). this device then inappropriately defaults to an eri state. when devices exhibit this condition they do not actually have a depleted battery but rather the device displays eri due to the erroneous voltage measurement. when the false eri occurs the device is reverted to a defined set of parameters (vvi mode at 65 beats per minute). a device exhibiting thiscondition can be resolved through the use of a specially configured programmer and software reset application to clear the eri/rrt condition. the ipg is not modified but simply returned to its previous settings. it should be noted that this issue does not shorten the actual device longevity after a reset.
