Plain-English summary
Abbott Medical is recalling 8,401 units of the Proclaim Plus 5 Implantable Pulse Generator (REF 3670). This is a surgically implanted medical device.
The FDA has determined that the duration between when the device reaches the elective replacement indicator threshold and its complete end-of-service may be shorter than indicated in the product labeling. This means the device's battery life may deplete faster than the healthcare provider and patient documentation indicates.
The affected devices were distributed worldwide, with distribution throughout the United States, including all 50 states and territories, and to multiple countries internationally.
Patients implanted with this device should contact their healthcare provider without delay to discuss appropriate management, which may include device replacement or closer monitoring of device status.
