FDA POSTMARKET SAFETY ALERT—the United States FDA
Center for Devices and Radiological Health issued a safety
bulletin October 14, 1998. This bulletin states “that minute
ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally
interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment,
causing the pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed
rate.” The FDA further recommends precautions to take into
consideration for patients with these types of pacemakers. These
precautions include disabling the rate responsive mode and
enabling an alternate pace mode. For more information contact:
