Guidant INSIGNIA I AVT family of pacemakers includes the following: SSI (model 482), VDD (model 882), DDD (model 982), SR (model 1192 and DR (model 1292). Intermedics NEXUS I AVT family of pacemakers includes the following: SR (model 1392). The INSIGNIA I AVT pacemakers are multiprogrammable pacemakers from Guidant. The NEXUS I AVT pacemakers are multiprogrammable pacemakers from Intermedics. The family consists of both dual-chamber and single-chamber models, offering adaptive-rate therapy and providing various levels of therapeutic and diagnostic functionality. These pacemakers include ventricular Automatic Capture which automatically measures the ventricular pacing threshold and adjusts the pacing output to 0.5 V above the measured threshold. The INSIGNIA and NEXUS I Plus adaptive-rate models have an accelerometer, which is a motion sensor that responds to patient activity. Sterilized with gaseous ethylene oxide.

Guidant INSIGNIA I Plus family of pacemakers includes the following: SR (model 1194); and DR (models1297, 1298). Intermedics NEXUS I Plus family of pacemakers includes the following: SR (model 1394) and DR (model 1467, 1468). The INSIGNIA I Plus pacemakers are multiprogrammable pacemakers from Guidant. The NEXUS I Plus pacemakers are multiprogrammable pacemakers from Intermedics. The family consists of both dual-chamber and single-chamber models, offering adaptive-rate therapy and providing various levels of therapeutic and diagnostic functionality. Two sensors are available: these adapt the pacing rate to the patient''s changing metabolic demand. Minute ventilation responds to changes in respiration, and the accelerometer responds to patient activity (motion). INSIGNIA and NEXUS I Plus models can use either the accelerometer or minute ventilation sensor, or a blend of both accelerometer and minute ventilation. Sterilized with gaseous ethylene oxide.

“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.”
Note published by the authorities from the Netherlands: This message is a warning from the manufacturer. After placing a medical device on the market, the manufacturer is obliged to follow the device and, where necessary, to improve it. When there is a risk for the user, the manufacturer must take action. The manufacturer informs users and the inspection of this action with a warning (Field Safety Notice).
