| Issue: | The manufacturer has released software ver 2.1.4148 of the Vanta Clinical Programmer Application (CPA), Model A71200. This software version and later versions, includes a firmware update to mitigate the previous communicated Action (Medsafe Ref#29701 and #31258). Cardioversion procedures may damage the electronics of the Vanta™ Model 977006 implantable neurostimulator (INS), potentially resulting in loss of device function and requiring surgical replacement. To mitigate this risk, Medtronic has updated device labeling with recommended programming settings and considerations for cardioversion procedures. The Vanta™ Model 977006 INS may experience a communication issue that prevents connection with clinician or patient programmers. While therapy delivery continues as programmed, the inability to communicate with the device may prevent therapy adjustments, potentially resulting in inadequate therapy and delays if troubleshooting is required. |
