    Recalling Organisation: Boston Scientific NZ Ltd, Level 1, 3 Diamond Street, Newton, Auckland
  • Cause
    These devices include the option of enabling a right ventricular automatic threshold (rvat) test to determine the rv pacing threshold and adjust amplitude in an ambulatory setting. if the rvat test feature is enabled and noise signals are continuously sensed within a brief rv noise window following an atrial pace, a patient may not receive effective pacing support until the rvat test ends (i.E., up to 20 cardiac cycles). although no patients have been harmed in the cases reported to date, brief periods of dizziness were reported in one case.

  • Commentaire du fabricant
    “We take a patient-first approach to assessing the applicability of every recall and communicate to regulatory bodies in all geographies where the recalled device is sold,” Boston Scientific said in a statement to ICIJ. “We have coordinated several recalls across many countries in a timely manner,” the company said, adding that it complies with all national laws, which can often vary and require different processes for reporting information or taking action on recalls. The company said it uses a rigorous and uniform process to take action on recalls and that “when we initiate a field action (e.g. recall, safety alert), every customer who has received an affected product receives a communication that includes a letter for the physician.”
