Reason

Abbott is advising physicians that our company is aware of instances in which the elective replacement indicator (ERI) in some devices has triggered earlier than intended. In these cases, the ERI alerts were triggered early due to an error in how the device calculates the actual remaining battery life in the impacted implantable pulse generators (IPG).
