The preliminary analysis led to the following observations: the patient files analysis has revealed that the rrt (recommended replacement time) warning has been displayed following a low battery voltage measurement performed with the ble (bluetooth low energy) function.Nevertheless, a battery voltage measurement was performed later without this ble function indicating a correct value (3.10 v).This issue is due to the ble function.The associated risk is a pacemaker reset which could lead to a switch in back-up mode with the impossibility to re-initialize it correctly inducing a device¿s interrogation impossibility.Nevertheless, the back-up mode is a safety mode where the pacemaker operates with the following parameters: vvi, 70 min-1, 5 v, 0.5 ms, sensitivity 2.2 mv, unipolar.Therefore, the pacing is still delivered.However, the device¿s integrity, cannot be guaranteed anymore.Based on the available data, a component failure (involved in the ble function) is currently suspected.Therefore, it is recommended to replace this pacemaker.In case the device is replaced and returned, a device¿s expertise will be performed such as visual check, electrical status check at reception, electrical tests and imaging in order to determine the root cause.Please refer to the analysis report.
