RECALLING FIRM/MANUFACTURER
Recalling Firm: Varian Medical Systems, Charlottesville, VA, by letter
on May 1, 2006.
Manufacturer: Varian Medical Systems, Haan, Germany. Firm initiated
recall is ongoing.
REASON
Medical device software for brachytherapy may cause erroneous data to be recorded
and affect patient radiation treatments. Erroneous data may be listed
on the treatment history report, and the default step size may lead to a misadministration
if treatment data is entered manually.

a) Guidant CONTAK RENEWAL 3 (models H170, H175) CONTAK
RENEWAL 3 HE (models H177, H179) Cardiac Resynchronization
Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D). Cardiac resynchronization
therapy
defibrillators (CRT-D) provide ventricular tachyarrhythmia
and cardiac
resynchronization therapies. Ventricular tachyarrhythmia
therapy is
for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular
fibrillation (VF), rhythms that are associated with sudden
cardiac
death (SCD). Cardiac resynchronization therapy is for the
treatment
of heart failure (HF) and uses biventricular electrical
stimulation to
synchronize ventricular contractions. Cardioversion/defibrillation
therapies include a range of low-and high-energy shocks
using either
a biphasic or monophasic waveform, Recall # Z-1288-06;
b) These models are not available in the US. Guidant CONTAK RENEWAL
4 (models H190, H195). Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

e) Guidant VITALITY 2 (models T165, T175), VITALITY DS (model T125),
VITALITY EL (model T135), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
(ICD),
are designed to detect and terminate ventricular tachycardia
(VT) and
ventricular fibrillation (VF) and provide bradycardia therapy
(atrial and
ventricular pacing). Therapies include both low- and high-energy
shocks
using either a biphasic or monophasic waveform. Vitality
2 devices also
offer a wide variety of antitachycardia pacing schemes to
terminate slower,
more stable ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Bradycardia pacing,
including
adaptive-rate features, is available to detect and treat
bradyarrhythmias
and to support the cardiac rhythm after defibrillation therapy.
Devices
denoted with DR offer dual-chamber bradycardia features
(atrial and/or
ventricular pacing and sensing), and the devices denoted
with VR offer
single-chamber bradycardia features (ventricular pacing
and sensing),
