defibrillation electronic device medical aid medical care medicine			Defibrillation threshold testing: Is it really necessary at the time of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator insertion? Defibrillation threshold testing and neurologic outcome by Karaoguz, Remzi / The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology (Anadolu Kardiyoloji Dergisi) Despite a "no action indicated" (NAI) inspection in April 1996, FDA was back at Medtronic's Fridley, MN, plant in February 1997 when the firm notified the Minneapolis District Office of a coming safety alert on various models of its Thera implantable bradycardia pacemakers and Jewel implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, according to recently released inspection records. Medtronic component glitch triggers safety alert by Inspection Monitor This trial will identify ways physicians can improve the quality of care for patients through optimal application of device-based tools designed to reduce unnecessary shocks in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) devices.
