  • Action
    Advanced Bionics sent an Important Notification letter on October 5, 2007, via FED-Ex or US Postal Service Certified mail. (International notification activity is in progress.) The recall letter advises that the firm has become aware of an issue with Precision Implantable Pulse Generators (IPG model numbers SC-1100, Sc1110, and ONS-1110) manufactured prior to July 2007. The letter describes the issue in detail. The firm is requesting that customer immediately locate the affected IPGs and set them aside so that they are not used. A Boston Scientific/Advanced Bionics sales representative will contact your facility to confirm these IPGs and arrange for the exchange of these devices. The firm enclosed Reply Verification Tracking Form listing the IPGs that are at your Clinic according to the firm's records. In addition, the firm recommends that if error code 10h0 or 00h0 is encountered in Implanted IPGs, it may be corrected by upgrading to a newer version of IPG firmware (software that runs in the IPG). The new version of firmware corrects this condition and helps prevent it from occurring in the future. This firmware upgrade is performed non-invasively, through wireless RF telemetry. If any of patients encounter error code "10h0" or "00h0" on their Remote Control, consignees are advised to contact their Advanced Bionics representative or Technical Services team at (866) 566-8913 to help identify whether the condition can be corrected through a firmware upgrade and, if so, they will help arrange for the upgrade. Please note that some devices may not be upgradeable. The firm request that all consignees return the notification acknowledgement form is included with the letter.
