2 Definitions and methods This November Edition of the 2007 CRM Product Performance Report presents performance and Field Safety Notice summaries for Sorin Group’s most recent pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization devices and leads. Sorin Group CRM presents worldwide data in its Product Performance Report because the majority of its products are used outside the US and are released for distribution there years earlier than in the US; therefore physicians and regulators are better informed, and sooner informed, with worldwide data. This performance report calculates cumulative survival probability using the standard actuarial method with confidence intervals using Greenwood’s method. This report was prepared in accordance with ISO 5841-2:2000, an international standard for reporting the clinical performance of populations of pulse generators or leads. Cumulative survival probability is the estimated probability of a unit’s surviving from the time of implant to the end of a given interval without device malfunction. This estimation includes only events confirmed by the manufacturer’s analysis, for which records include an implant date and an event or explant date. Because not all devices are returned to Sorin for analysis, limitations of passive follow up are encountered. Data on survival from malfunction (excluding normal battery depletion) are based on returned product analysis. Sorin does not utilize any prospective, active device follow-up to assess device survival. As such, the survival data probably underestimate malfunction rates. Device malfunction occurs when a device is out of specification after implant, except because of normal battery depletion. Out of specification means having one or more characteristics outside the limits established by the manufacturer for clinical use. According to the international standard ISO 5841-2:2000, normal battery depletion occurs when a device is out of specification after implant because it has reached the point in the service life at which the manufacturer recommends its replacement. Practically, normal battery depletion data analysis uses U.S. device-tracking data to estimate the fraction of exposed devices withdrawn each month for normal battery depletion. When the devices are not returned, the physician’s opinion – as documented in the device tracking database – determines whether the explant is attributed to normal battery depletion; otherwise, the determination is based on returned device analysis. Malfunctions for any model are further separated in malfunctions with compromised therapy and malfunctions without compromised therapy. Malfunction with compromised therapy is the condition when a device is confirmed through laboratory analysis to have malfunctioned in a manner that compromised pacing or defibrillation therapy (including complete loss or partial degradation) while implanted and in service. Examples include (but are not limited to): sudden loss of battery voltage; accelerated current drain such that low battery was not detected before loss of therapy; sudden malfunction during defibrillation therapy resulting in aborted therapy delivery; intermittent malfunction in which therapy is compromised while in the malfunction state. Malfunction without compromised therapy is the condition when a device is confirmed through laboratory analysis to have malfunctioned in a manner that did not compromise pacing or defibrillation therapy while implanted and in service. Malfunctions in which critical patient-protective pacing and defibrillation therapies remain available are included here. Examples include (but are not limited to): error affecting diagnostic functions, data storage; malfunction of a component that causes the battery to lose power quickly enough to result in premature battery depletion, but slowly enough that the condition is detected through normal follow-up before therapy is lost; telemetry failure.

Survival graphs: Each survival graph shows “cumulative survival” on its Y-axis. This refers to the probability that the device will remain in the body without malfunction during the interval from the time the device is implanted up until the point in time shown on the X-axis. Cumulative survival graphs are presented separately for non-Field Safety Notice and Field Safety Notice device populations (when applicable), to provide the healthcare community with clinically relevant, patient-specific device performance. Each Field Safety Notice is described in the last section (Section 6). Here is an example of the presentation format used: TALENT DR 213

Here is a key to the information in the sample presentation above:

Talent DR 213

Model designation for device covered by each cumulative survival graph appears at the upper left of the corresponding graph.

Cutoff date The graph and table contain all applicable data in the manufacturer’s sales and analysis records as of the cutoff date shown at the lower left of the corresponding graph.

Analysis stops at 72 months or < 500 active implants

Cumulative survival probability is presented for device models with 500 or more estimated active implants and for any devices covered by a Field Safety Notice regardless of the number of estimated active implants.

Worldwide implants Number of devices of the models covered by the graph that have been implanted worldwide.

Sorin Group CRM 7

Estimated active implants Number of devices estimated in service worldwide at the

cutoff date. Because the manufacturer collects worldwide data passively, i.e. uses returned products to assess product performance, underreporting could bias the analysis. To correct for this potential bias, the analysis uses device-tracking data collected in the United States for same or similar types of devices, to estimate the fraction of exposed devices withdrawn each month for reasons not related to the functioning of the device, and for loss to follow-up.

Estimated normal battery depletion Number of devices estimated out of service worldwide due to normal battery depletion at the cutoff date. To correct for potential bias due to underreporting of normal battery depletion worldwide, when the same or similar models are marketed in the United States, the analysis uses U.S. device-tracking data to estimate the fraction of exposed devices withdrawn each month for normal battery depletion: When the devices are not returned, the physician’s opinion – as documented in the device tracking database – determines whether the explant is attributed to normal battery depletion; otherwise, the determination is based on returned device analysis. “Estimated normal battery depletion” is shown only for device models marketed in the United States.

Worldwide malfunctions Number of devices confirmed out of specification worldwide after implant, except because of normal battery depletion.

Years after start of exposure Number of years the device remains in the body after the device is implanted. The analysis uses the date of sale as a surrogate for date of implant. The survival analysis calculates time to the nearest day. However, for convenience, the graphs and tables report time in years and the analysis stops at 6 years (72 months).

Cumulative survival curves

Each survival graph contains the survival curve for freedom from malfunction, in red. When the device is marketed in the United States, a second survival curve for normal battery depletion and malfunction is shown on the same graph (the lower curve), in black. A table provides annual values corresponding to the upper curve, with confidence limits.

Devices with/without compromised therapy The number of malfunctions with and without compromised therapy is documented in a table below the survival curves data.

6 Field Safety Notices

6.1 Cardioverter Defibrillators

6.1.1 Alto and Alto 2, Group 1 Original date of Field safety notice: February 2004 Field safety notice description A Field Safety Notice was issued for this group of devices that were manufactured before April 17, 2003 (Group 1). The notification states that premature battery depletion and/or prolonged charge time can occur due to metal migration, in a limited number of Alto and Alto 2 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (models DR 614, VR 615, MSP 617, DR 624, and VR 625). Premature battery depletion and/or prolonged charge time can result in unavailability of pacing, cardioversion, and defibrillation therapy. This condition can occur between two follow up visits. No permanent adverse effect on a patient’s health has been reported. Patient recommendations The notification recommends strictly observing a follow-up interval of three (3) months for these devices, in conformance with recommendations provided in the user’s manual. Depending on the circumstances, those patients known to have frequent recent episodes of ventricular fibrillation might be at greater risk if the device does not perform as expected between follow-up visits. Those patients could require prophylactic explantation or more frequent visits. Other patients, including pacemaker-dependent patients, could also benefit from prophylactic explantation or more frequent visits.

6.2.2 Symphony and Rhapsody, Group 2 Original date of Field Safety Notice: October 2005 Field Safety Notice description A manufacturing process that caused malfunctions described in Group 1 above was also performed for some devices in this second population identified as Group 2, although no similar malfunctions have been reported. Consequently, the Field Safety Notice described above also included Group 2. Patient recommendations No measurable change in device characteristics was identified that could warn of an impending incident. Consequently, the Field Safety Notice does not recommend more frequent monitoring. For Group 2, because recently-published data indicate that the average malfunction rate for all pacemakers is approximately 0.15 % per year 1, and because of the small but non-zero risk associated with device replacement, the Field Safety Notice does not recommend prophylactic replacement.

6.2.3 Neway DR

Original date of Field Safety Notice: July 2007

Field Safety Notice description A Field Safety Notice was issued in relation to a limited series of 45 cardiac pacemakers, Neway DR model, distributed in Europe. The notification states that these devices contained a version of a microcontroller integrated circuit that did not allow automatic storing of the data coming from the intracardiac EGM (IEGM) into the device memory. To overcome this limitation, storing of data was performed by a dedicated software routine. This software routine caused additional current drain that reduced longevity in devices with IEGM activated, compared to the devices with the IEGM deactivated. Available programmer software did not take into account the additional current required for the IEGM function when estimating the remaining longevity.

Patient Recommendations Revised programmer software (SmartView 2.06 for Orchestra programmer - version 3.6.04 for PMP 2000 programmer or higher versions) was distributed to calculate the remaining longevity accurately with or without IEGM enabled. For all of the devices included in this field safety notice, a prompt follow-up visit and device interrogation was recommended utilizing this revised programmer software.

6.3 Stelid BS45D leads Original date of Field Safety Notice: December 2006 Field Safety Notice description A Field Safety Notice was issued for a limited number of Stelid BS45D leads (54 units). A loss of pacing and sensing condition was observed on one BS45D lead, due to an incorrect crimping operation for the fixed screw during the manufacturing of an isolated lot of BS45D. No deterioration in patient’s health was reported as a result of the defect. Patient recommendations ELA recommends performing a follow up visit every six months over the first two years after implantation. The lead electrical performance and stability should be checked during each follow up: pacing/sensing threshold and pacing impedance.
