Why Was This Recalled?
Events related to a pacing rate outside of the intended setting, including events of sudden increased pacing rate up to the maximum setting of 180 pulses per minute (ppm), have been reported. This is caused by the development of high resistance on internal electrical connector contacts due to oxidation over time.
