Reason For
Recall |
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.
|
| Action |
An Urgent Medical Devivce Information letter dated April 05, 2007 was sent to implanting and following physicians. The letter describes the issue, identifies patients with affected devices and provides recommendations.
