The reported event of false elective replacement indicator (eri) was confirmed.The pacer was received in normal working conditions with battery voltage above eri.Device triggered eri alert is consistent with autocapture and rate responsive settings turned on.Device image shows autocapture on.When automatic settings are programed, such as autocapture, the device output would adjust itself to accommodate the patient¿s needs for pacing and thus affect the estimated longevity of the device.Electrical and mechanical analysis performed, indicated normal device functionality.The implant duration exceeds the projected longevity based on field settings, battery is still normal and above eri.
