Description

Vercise Deep Brain Stimulation Systems Surgical Implant Manual, Document Number: 92328632-09

Reason

Wire break(s) have occurred in rechargeable deep brain stimulation implantable pulse generators, implanted in the submuscular pectoral location. Wire breaks prevent successful stimulation, thus requiring device removal/replacement and users may experience high monopolar impedances, undesired sensation, loss of therapy, return of symptoms and/or Bluetooth connectivity challenges.

Action

On 7/8/2025, correction notices were mailed in the U.S. and mailed, emailed, or hand delivered outside the U.S. Healthcare Professionals were asked to do the following: 1) Review the Surgical Implant Manual updates. 2) If you are a facility that has sent products to another hospital or a facility within your network, ensure this notification is forwarded to them. 3) A patient letter is enclosed with this communication, which can be shared with your patient and/or included within the patient's medical record. 4) Monitor per relevant IFU recommendations for any clinical observations of high monopolar impedances, undesired sensation, sudden loss of therapy, return of pre-implant symptoms and/or Bluetooth connectivity challenges, as these may be signals of potential feedthrough wire break(s) (component damage). 5) If you are a distributor, this notification must be forwarded to your customers to ensure this notification is carried out to the end-user level. 6) To provide awareness of this information, share this letter with any other clinicians in your hospital who use the system. 7) Maintain a copy of this letter in your facility's records. 8) Complete and return the acknowledgement form via email to [email protected] report all device-related incidents or quality concerns experienced with the use of these devices to the firm at [email protected]
