RA-66288

Affected products

A. Platinium DF4 VR ICD

B. Platinium DF4 DR ICD

C. Platinium DF4 SonR CRT-D

Reason

On a subset of Platinum ICD or CRT-D DF4 models, a component of the DF4 connector was identified as potentially defective leading to intermittent loss of contact. As a consequence, high values of continuity measures on the defibrillation coils or noise on the right ventricular channel may be observed. This issue can also lead to absence of ventricular pacing therapy and/or inappropriate shock. Delivery of defibrillation shock is unaffected.
