  • Reason
    Maximo ii vr icd, dr icd and crt-d inadvertently include the capture management algorithm (atrial/right ventricular/left ventricular capture management). the capture management algorithm monitors daily pacing thresholds and may increase or decrease pacing amplitudes in response to patients' needs. although the algorithm is operating correctly, it is not accessible to the clinician for reprogramm.

    “If our surveillance systems identify a potential performance issue, our personnel promptly evaluate the problem, including, when appropriate, conducting root cause investigations and internal testing to assess whether the product continues to meet specifications and defined performance criteria,” Medtronic told ICIJ in a statement. “In some cases, based on this evaluation, Medtronic may determine that a recall is necessary.” The company said that it communicates with healthcare providers and/or patients and provide recommendations to address such issues. Medtronic noted that these communications can include letters, emails, calls, press releases, physician notifications and social media postings, as well as informing the FDA and other regulators of the actions.
