The FDA has the authority to require sponsors to perform a post-approval study (or studies) at the time of approval of a premarket approval (PMA), humanitarian device exemption (HDE), or product development protocol (PDP) application. Post-approval studies can provide patients, health care professionals, the device industry, the FDA and other stakeholders information on the continued safety and effectiveness (or continued probable benefit, in the case of an HDE) of approved medical devices. This database allows you to search Post-Approval Study information by applicant or device information.

Detailed Study Protocol Parameters
Study Objectives The post-approval study is a prospective, non-randomized, combined cohort of subjects followed in two other studies. Data from the combined cohort are used prospectively to assess performance of the algorithm.
Study Population Study population same as approved product. This device is a software algorithm designed to identify potential RV-Tip to RV-Ring pace/sense electrode issues earlier than contemporary out-of-range impedance criteria. The RVLIA algorithm uses two different criteria to determine potential lead noise. It uses data from the ventricular sensing integrity counter (SIC) and non-sustained VT episodes (NST) to determine potential noise and also looks at the RV pacing lead impedance values.
Sample Size 3873 subjects from multiple centers in 2 cohorts
Key Study Endpoints Data are collected via review of the databases using the device algorithm. Triggers associated with the algorithm are reviewed. Lead fractures are confirmed.
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up The cohort is followed for two years.
Interim or Final Data Summary
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 1779
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled n/a
Patient Follow-up Rate n/a
Final Safety Findings n/a
Final Effect Findings Of 41 events, 39 were detected by LIA algorithm, giving an estimated sensitivity of 95.1% (95% IC 83.5%-99.4). The inappropriate shock rate was 21%.

Of 47 LIA triggers, there were eight false-positive alerts increase without lead modification as indicated in the Device Registration System. . The false-positives included two gradually increasing impedance, two T-wave oversensing cases, and one each caused by a header-connector problem, hypothermic ventricular fibrillation during cardiac arrest at cardiac surgery, ventricular fibrillation storm, and one case adjudicated as unknown with abrupt impedance. The estimated number of false positive LIA triggers based on the retrospective analysis was 0.00269 per patient-year.
Study Strengths & Weaknesses Not all products were returned for the Return Product Analysis. Of 47 LIA triggers, 21 (47%) of the products were not analyzed, where 15 were not returned and 6 were listed as ¿no record¿.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Labeling changes should be accomplished in accordance with the findings of the PAS.
