  • Cause
    Guidant has received 2 reports of device malfunction associated with subpectoral implantation in an uncommon orientation (serial number facing ribs). repetitive mechanical stress in this orientation can result in loss of shock therapy, loss of pacing therapy (intermittent or permanent), loss of telemetry, programmer warning screen upon interrogation, and beeping.
  • Action
    The recall was initiated on May 15, 2006, with a press release and a letter to physicians. Physicians are asked to review the specific positioning of each device for patients implanted with affected models. This is a review of medical records to determine if the device is subpectoral. Then use of an AP radiograph on patients with a subpectoral implant to determine device orientation and if leads exit in a clockwise direction. In those cases, it''s recommended physicians advise the patient of the potential for failure, and follow-up at least once per quarter per device labeling and consider device replacement for larger muscle/active patients or for patients who regularly utilize therapy. Physicians are instructed to orient device with the serial number facing away from the ribs for future implants.
