Reason

A rare measurement lock-up condition that may (at a rate of approximately 1 in 18,000 devices) inappropriately trigger ERI/RRT in the Medtronic Dual Chamber Pacemakers: Kappa 600, 700, 800, 900, EnPulse, Adapta, Versa, Sensia. This is caused by a random lock-up of the measurement system hardware that may result in an incorrect battery voltage reading of zero. This issue does NOT impact battery lon

Action
