Action

On 3/8/21, BIOTRONIK issued a "Urgent Field Safety" recall notification to all affected consignees via UPS. In addition to informing consignees about the recall, the firm asked consignees to take the following actions: 1. To determine if a specific device is affected by this corrective action you can lookup the device at the following web address: www.biotronik.com/devicelookup. 2. Devices in stock: Do not implant any potentially affected devices. Local BIOTRONIK representatives will replace affected devices in hospital inventory. 3. Continue with the standard patient follow-up schedule. -During follow-ups: Verify the status of the device and battery during in-office or Home Monitoring follow-ups. Please note that unresponsive devicesor those that are not transmitting data may be experiencing this issue and your BIOTRONIK representative should be informed if you observe any unusual device behavior. -Home Monitoring should be utilized whenever possible as it provides timely ERI warnings to reduce the risk of sudden loss of therapy. If you do not yet use Home Monitoring, please consider if this option is appropriate for you and your patients. BIOTRONIK will provide Cardio Messenger devices to monitor implants affected by this advisory. If you would like to register for Home Monitoring, please contact your local BIOTRONIK representative. 4. If there is an unexpected ERI notification for a device that is subject to this advisory, a timely replacement should be considered based on the patients underlying conditions: - For patients that are not pacemaker dependent, or patients with a primary prevention ICD, device replacement within one week after ERI notification is recommended. - For pacemaker dependent patients, replacement of the device is recommended immediately after ERI notification. 5. In consultation with our medical advisory board, BIOTRONIK does not recommend prophylactic replacement. The risk of complications for ICD exchange1-3 outweighs
