  • Cause
    Potential loss of cardioversion, defibrillation or pacing therapy due to diversion of high voltage shock. guidant has identified the potential for loss of therapy in all contak renewal® (model h135) and contak renewal® 2 (model h155) cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (crt-ds) manufactured on or before 26 august 2004. on delivery of defibrillation therapy the high voltage pulse may discharge (or arc) between the high voltage defibrillation output wire and titanium casing. the resulting high current may damage the crt-d electronics causing one or more of the following: loss of arrhythmia detection/ therapy delivery bradycardia pacing output telemetry/ programming/ interrogation partial delivery of intended shock energy. a red warning screen indicating malfunction a yellow warning screen indicating 'out of range' shocking impedance.
  • Action
