Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) exhibited longevity calculations from 10 months to 3 months remaining in a span of 1 month.Boston scientific technical services (ts) discussed that the device is nearing elective replacement indicator (eri) and suggested to send file for analysis to confirm but health care professional (hcp) declined.This device remains in service.No adverse patient effects were reported.

If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.The product has been received for analysis.Upon completion of the failure analysis of the complaint product, if there is any further relevant information from that review, a supplemental report will be filed.The returned cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) was analyzed and an engineering-level longevity prediction calculation was completed to assess the rate of battery depletion.Given the programmed parameters and other data stored within the memory of the device, the results of this calculation indicated that the actual rate of battery depletion fell within an acceptable range.Next, a series of diagnostic tests were conducted that verified the performance of pacing, sensing, defibrillation, and recording functions.Having met the engineering longevity prediction, functionally passed all returned product testing, and with no further information to indicate a product performance issue, we have concluded that this device experienced normal battery depletion.
