| Code Information |
The advisory population includes all models listed; however, the bounding differs by battery type:
" All serialized DR-EL pacemakers and CRT-Ps from the ACCOLADE family are included in the advisory population.
" ACCOLADE DR-SL and SR-SLs with a use-by-date (UBD) on or before 30 June 2025 are included in the advisory population. Model number alone will not precisely identify individual DR-SL or SR-SL devices in the advisory population.

Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Updated software, Brady software maintenance release 6 (SMR6), is now available for the ACCOLADE" family of pacemakers and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers (CRT-Ps)1 and the advisory population is expanding to include all CRT-P and dual-chamber extended life (DR-EL) devices.
Dual chamber modes are specifically indicated for treatment of the following:
" Conduction disorders that require restoration of AV synchrony, including varying degrees of AV block
" VVI intolerance (i.e., pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm
" Low cardiac output or congestive heart failure secondary to bradycardia |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Nonconforming Material/Component |
