Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This product has not been returned to boston scientific, and as a result, laboratory analysis could not be conducted.Data analysis of the device confirmed that a low voltage alert, code 1003.Engineers determined that this device was demonstrating behavior consistent with a high battery impedance, which puts 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.If the device remains in service, rf telemetry will be disabled before the battery impedance reaches a level where safety mode can occur.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.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed.The review of the dhr identified that there were no process related non-conformances, scrap, or rework performed during the production that could explain the event.The reviews ensure each device meets specification prior to release for use.There is no indication the device manufacturing process contributed to the reported complaint.A risk review was completed and confirmed that the event of message - error code 1003 was defined in the risk documentation.This event type has been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.Review of labeling determined that the complaint situation was listed in the manual.There was no indication in the complaint that the product was not used in accordance to labeling.The manual was unlikely to be the cause of the reported complaint; translation, wording, or graphics does not require further review.Based on a thorough review of the reported complaint, boston scientific has assigned an investigation conclusion code of manufacturing deficiency.
