“We take a patient-first approach to assessing the applicability of every recall and communicate to regulatory bodies in all geographies where the recalled device is sold,” Boston Scientific said in a statement to ICIJ. “We have coordinated several recalls across many countries in a timely manner,” the company said, adding that it complies with all national laws, which can often vary and require different processes for reporting information or taking action on recalls. The company said it uses a rigorous and uniform process to take action on recalls and that “when we initiate a field action (e.g. recall, safety alert), every customer who has received an affected product receives a communication that includes a letter for the physician.”

제품 설명
VENTAK PRIZM Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD). DR, model 1851, DR HE, model 1853 and 1858, PRIZM VR HE, model 1857, PRIZM 2 VR model 1860 and PRIZM 2 DR model 1861. The ICDs are designed to detect and terminate ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) and provide bradycardia therapy (atrial and ventricular pacing). Therapies include both low- and high-energy shocks using either a biphasic or monophasic waveform. Bradycardia pacing, including adaptive-rate features is available to detect and treat bradyarrhythmias and to support the cardiac rhythm after defibrillation therapy. The devices denoted with DR offer dual-chamber bradycardia features (atrial and/or ventricular pacing and sensing), and the devices denoted with VR offer single-chamber bradycardia features (ventricular pacing and sensing). Sterilized with gaseous ethylene oxide. Guidant Corporation, Cardiac Rhythm Management, 4100 Hamline Avenue North, St. Paul, MN 55112-5798 USA
