Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Through post-market surveillance, ELA Medical has observed that a no-output condition could occur in a limited number of Symphony or rhapsody pacemakers. The no-output condition could occur due to metal migration caused by a specific manufacturing process.
Action A Dear Doctor letter, dated 10/25/05, was sent to all affected doctors. The letter describes the failures and mentions that pacemaker depend patients implanted with devices manufactured in the first group could require prophylactic replacement.
