  • Reason
    Medtronic identified an issue that may occur with all models of claria mri™ crt-d surescan™ and amplia mri™ crt-d surescan™ devices. the issue is a loss of lv pacing that occurs following a specific device programming sequence. whenever a patient with adaptivcrt* enabled (shipped setting) is subsequently programmed to mvp (managed ventricular pacing) mode and then re-programmed back to ddd or dddr, adaptivcrt is not re-enabled. when this programming sequence occurs, lv pacing is not delivered, despite parameters indicating adaptivcrt is enabled. this will result in rv only pacing which may be undesirable for the patient. lv pacing will remain disabled until a specific programming sequence is manually completed. * this feature adjusts crt parameter values automatically while the patient is ambulatory. if adaptivcrt is programmed to adaptive bi-v and lv, the feature can switch automatically between biventricular pacing and lv-only pacing.
