Issue

Abbott is notifying customers of the potential for programmer software (Merlin pcs) and remote monitoring software applications (Merlin.net) to display overestimated predicted battery longevity for certain pacemakers. Pacemaker/battery functionality, therapy delivery, and longevity remain normal and within specifications. Voltage measurements and ERI (elective replacement indicator), which is based on direct voltage measurement, remain accurate.
