Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this pacemaker recorded a code 1003, which states that the voltage is too low for projected remaining capacity.It was reported that a request was made to have data from this device analyzed.Data analysis identified potential high impedance within the battery.Device replacement was recommended.This device was explanted and was not returned for analysis.Other than the surgical procedure, no additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, this device was thoroughly inspected and analyzed.Analysis of the device confirmed that a low voltage alert, code 1003, was recorded and that critical therapy remained available.Engineers determined that this device was demonstrating behavior consistent with a high battery impedance, which put this device at risk of experiencing transient voltage decreases (and associated resets) during telemetry or other normal, higher-power operations.When the device detects an elevated battery impedance, a code 1003 is displayed to alert users that a high battery impedance condition exists.Boston scientific has issued a field safety notice to notify physicians of the potential for accolade family pacemaker and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p) devices to exhibit this behavior.
