  • Cause
    The manufacturer is advising customers that it is aware of instances in which the elective replacement indicator (eri) in some devices has triggered earlier than intended. in these cases, the eri alerts were triggered early due to an error in how the device calculates the actual remaining battery life in the impacted implantable pulse generators (ipg). eri alerts estimate battery life based on programmed device parameters and patient usage and are unique to each patient. it is important to be aware that this issue is an error in software calculation and is not an indication of the devices' actual battery performance.

  • 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.
