Type I
Source of recall:
Health Canada
Issue:
Medical Devices
Audience:
General Public, Healthcare Professionals, Hospitals
Identification number:
RA-61926

Reason

The potential for radio frequency (RF) interference to alter wireless communication from a programmer, which in rare instances may cause an S-CID to perform an unintended command. This behavior can only occur during an active, in-clinic interrogation/programming session with the Model 3200 S-ICD programmer. There is no risk of this behavior occurring when the latitude patient management system communicates with an S-ICD in an ambulatory setting.
