RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER Naviscan PET Systems, San Diego, CA,
REASON Naviscan has identified a potential safety issue with all versions of PEM View Software commonly used for analyzing patient images acquired on the PEMFIex product line. 1. The Positron Emission Mammography Standardized Uptake Value (PEMSUV) and distance measurements for the product mentioned above may be inaccurate if a zoomed image has been opened, measurement tools are used, and the applet remains open while subsequent measurements are being made on another applet (12 slice view). This software defect results in unreliable andlor inconsistent readings in the size, distance between lesions and mass measurement, which could result in the physician selecting inaccurate margins for surgery. 2. In addition, under these same circumstances the Region of Interest (ROI) numbering might not be sequential or multiple regions within the same image might have the same number. Duplicative numbering could result in confusion in definition of the region of interest. 3. When images, user defined as "Other," are acquired, the thumbnail image is mislabeled as "LCC" (Left Craniocaudal) while the caption contains the correct user-defined labeling. This thumbnail mislabeling could result in reader confusion in the body part being displayed.

Statement on Medtronic's Market Suspension of Their Sprint Fidelis Defibrillator Leads

Statement by Daniel Schultz, M.D., director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health:

Medtronic's decision to remove its Sprint Fidelis defibrillation leads from the market is in the best interest of patient safety.

These electronic wires are prone to fracture in a small number of patients which can cause the defibrillator to deliver unnecessary shocks or not operate at all. Based on our initial review of reported adverse events, some deaths and major complications have occurred after the leads have fractured.

Defibrillators are life-saving products for patients with a heart rhythm abnormality. We know it can be frightening for a patient to learn that a product they rely on so much might have a serious defect. However, patients can be assured that the likelihood of fracture is very low and FDA is committed to ensuring that the risk to patients is minimized.

Background:

Today, Medtronic announced it was suspending distribution of its Sprint Fidelis defibrillation leads because a small number of fractures have been detected. As a result of Medtronic's action, no more Sprint Fidelis leads will be sold or manufactured and any remaining product should be pulled from inventory and returned to the company. Patients who are implanted with this lead are encouraged to contact their physicians for further information.

Medtronic first notified physicians in March about the fracture rate at that time and the proper method for implantation. Additional data on adverse events accumulated since then has prompted today's action.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillators (CRT-Ds) are used to treat abnormal heart rhythms that can cause the heart to stop suddenly. ICDs and CRT-Ds shock the heart back into normal rhythm by sending a pulse of energy through an electronic wire or lead that is connected to the heart.

When a defibrillator lead is slightly more prone to fracture, it doesn't mean that every lead will break. Most leads will function well, as is the case with Sprint Fidelis. In the infrequent circumstance where a lead actually breaks, or "fractures," the lead may send false signals that cause inappropriate defibrillator shocks, or therapies such as pacing or shocks may not be delivered.

Current adverse event information indicates that fractures have occurred in less than 1 percent of the approximately 268,000 of these leads implanted worldwide. We don't know if this rate of adverse events will remain constant or increase over the life of these leads.

Patients should recognize that a small number of Sprint Fidelis leads are used with defibrillators made by manufacturers other than Medtronic. If patients have reason to believe that they have a Sprint Fidelis lead or if they do not know the model of their lead, they should contact their health care professional.
