    Description

    Symphony DR model 2550 and ELA Rhapsody DR model 2510. A dual chamber rate-responsive pacemaker that uses both minute ventilation and accelerometer sensors. Sterilization with Ethylene Oxide Gas. Sorin Group, ELA medical, 98, rue Maurice Amoux, 92120 Montrouge - France. Made in France.

    Reason

    Through post-market surveillance, ELA Medical has observed that a no-output condition could occur in a limited number of Symphony or rhapsody pacemakers. The no-output condition could occur due to metal migration caused by a specific manufacturing process.

    Action

    A Dear Doctor letter, dated 10/25/05, was sent to all affected doctors. The letter describes the failures and mentions that pacemaker depend patients implanted with devices manufactured in the first group could require prophylactic replacement.
