Reason for Recall
Sorin is notifying physicians that certain defibrillators' battery depletion may be undetectable.
Firm Action
Consignees were notified on 4/11/17 via certified letter to make users aware of the issue and what actions to take to
mitigate the potential risk of re-intervention associated with undetected battery depletion.
Following and implanting physicians are being
instructed to do one of two things:
1. Prior to lead revision:
Deactivate the shock therapies to avoid further charging1,
Wait 24 hours1, and
Re-interrogate the ICD or CRT-D to check the updated battery status. If RRT is reached, initiate a device replacement.
Or
2. If it is not possible to wait 24 hours prior to replacing the lead, the lead revision may be performed as scheduled and the device may be replaced prophylactically during the same procedure since the battery status is unknown.
