  Boston Scientific Corporation has stopped shipment and is retrieving unimplanted devices from US hospital shelves of all its implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) after determining that some manufacturing process changes were not submitted for approval to the US Food & Drug Administration.

• • Terminated Z-0609-2010 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) ·initiated 1 Dec 2009

  BSC CRM provided important patient management information regarding Boston Scientific COGNIS CRT-Ds and TELIGEN ICDs. Engineering simulations and field reports indicate that in some cases, implanted devices may encounter sufficient mechanical stress to weaken the bond between the header and case when positioned subpectorally. A weakened header bond may alter lead impedance and introduce noise

  Boston Scientific has recently identified low-voltage capacitors from a former supplier that may be subject to degradation at a low rate of occurrence. These capacitors may cause accelerated battery depletion and may reduce the time between elective replacement indicator (ERI) and end of life (EOL) to less than 3 months.

• • Terminated Z-0047-2008 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) ·initiated 16 Mar 2007

  Atypical Charge Time Behavior: 1)-End of Life (EOL) or ERI is displayed during mid-life (typically 24-48 months), even though battery capacity remains available. 2)- Extended ERI charge time limits: Charge times during mid-life may remain below a normal extension of the ERI charge time . ****** Prophylactic replacement of these devices prior to ERI is not recommended. As stated in the Product Upd

  Guidant has identified a pattern of premature battery depletion in devices manufactured with a single lot of capacitors from a single supplier. If function of this low voltage capacitor is compromised, the battery may deplete prematurely.

  77 distributed devices may have a cracked layer of insulation in a flexible hybrid circuit, leading to internal shorting during charging such as during routine capacitor formation or for defibrillation. This would likely render the device non-functional, resulting in no output and/or telemetry communications.

• • Terminated Z-0863-06 FDA Unclassified (pre-2012) ·initiated 11 Mar 2006 ·on shared PMA P010012

  Guidant received 39 reports of devices that exhibited lower than expected battery voltage prior to implant; none of these devices were implanted.
