Reason
Medtronic has confirmed several instances of recharging sessions of a restoresensor implantable neurostimulator (ins) that ended without achieving a sufficient recharge to maintain stimulation therapy. this may cause the neurostimulator to enter into a rapid battery depletion state due to an error in the device causing the device battery level to decrease to the over discharged state within a couple days versus the 30 day decrease to the over discharged state in normal operation. when the neurostimulator battery is allowed to over discharge therapy is unavailable and the patient cannot charge the neurostimulator however battery function may be restored using the physician recharge mode of the recharger. as noted in the current labeling if three occurrences of over discharge occur the neurostimulator will no longer function and must be replaced.

A very small number of incidents have been reported for another model (1500t12) of ibi therapyt generator where the generator initiated the unintended delivery of rf energy when the user was making settings adjustments. the generator is designed to only initiate rf energy when the start/stop key is pressed. however due to a potential for internal circuitry damage caused by electrostatic discharge the generator controls may be adversely affected. although no such incidents have been reported with the 1500t14 generator it contains the same internal circuitry as the 1500t12 generator that is vulnerable to potential damage caused by electrostatic discharge. as a result it is being included in this action.

Devices may generate non-unique series identifiers which when exported to some pacs systems results in the series being associated with the incorrect study on the pacs. the intended study will not have the correct series lsited and an unintended study will have it listed instead. the issue may result in an incorrect diagnosis from the study with mixed patient data if the series protocol and anatomy on the studies are similar and the annotation is not noticed. the conditions under which the issue is known to be possible require that the studies have identical time of day and that the exams be on an affected model of pacts at the same time.
