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 1-year, multi-center, single arm, prospective and retrospective cohort study. All subjects in the study receive the device.
Study Population Study Population: The study population includes adults (at least 19 years old) receiving device. Indication: The Medtronic Model 4965 CapSure Epi Steroid-Eluting Unipolar Epicardial Pacing Lead is an epicardial lead designed for pacing and sensing of either the atrium or ventricle.
Sample Size 50 subjects at multiple sites
Key Study Endpoints Endpoints include freedom from generator and lead-related adverse events and post-market performance of the lead.
Follow-up Visits and Length of Follow-up There is no specified timeframe for follow-up visits; they occur according to the routine care plan set by each site for all cardiac surgical patients.
Interim or Final Data Summary
Interim Results There are 4 deaths in 69 enrolled subjects, 2 lead events, and 8 observations to date.
Actual Number of Patients Enrolled 73 subjects
Actual Number of Sites Enrolled 21 centers
Patient Follow-up Rate 51/73 (70%) at one year of follow-up
Final Safety Findings There were two lead-related complications and six Model 4965 lead observations. A total of 18 deaths were reported. No patient death was considered device- related. However the relatedness of 11 (61%) patient deaths to the Model 4965 could not be determined due to insufficient information.
Final Effect Findings A total of 98 implanted Model 4965 leads were included in the analysis. The lead-related complication free survival probability at 1-year was 98.8%, with 95% CI (91.8%, 99.8%).
Study Strengths & Weaknesses A weakness of this study is that enrollment of the 73 participants took almost 14 years 12/1996- 09/2010. Over this time there may have been substantial changes in clinical practice. Additionally, this study was limited by the use of retrospective enrollment, a low follow-up rate, and substantial missingness of data. However the sponsor, will incorporate lead survival data on epicardial leads from the literature, into the labeling to supplement the findings from this study.
Recommendations for Labeling Changes Yes, labeling updates are being recommended.
