Dear Dr Letter

Hearing one is in the works. Anyone else conform?

 

Capacitor issue dropping device to cause immediate replacement

 

Error code 1003. Everyone's seen one, so time to explain it. Letter is on the web site if you know where to look.

 

Boom! Bam! Kapow! Those batteries won't be lasting as long as you were bragging about ha?

 

Anyone have the link?

 

Just ask your friendly BSX representative. I'm sure they would be happy to provide you one...

Lmao. The .6% of 15% still last longer than any mdt can. 2 vs 1..... Meanwhile mdt changes out 3 year cans wen they replace their. 3 year leads. Stj replaces 5 year cans when they replace 5 year cans. Which issue would you want to deal w if you were a pt?

 

It's not the .01% of 15% x 0.314 /.8 that's the issue, it's that every single device Guidant/BSC makes ultimately ends up with some sort of advisory, "dear doctor" letter, or recall associated with it. It's why so many of your good people left ago. Have to hand it you, at least you're consistent. Consistently bad, but consistent nonetheless.

 

Oh please. I won't check a mdt device because they have so many advisories. Same with st junk.

 

Oh please! You guys are the worst for being the physician's OWN in-clinic and remote device specialists! You check any and every device the doc tells you, so you can get that change out. Sad to see such ignorance or shall I say, staff manipulation as well as gross misconduct. Going on vacation with the doc and kiddo's. Oh, but you are best friends, right? Oh, and he is 100% BSX. I can go on and on. Dummy.

 

Don't be jealous you don't have the personality that a doc wants to vacation with. This is the normal letter we are over reporting.

 

Over reporting happens when you have constant issues/problems!

 

No problem w current, promote, fortify or unify rapid battery depletion either.....and the 40 month MDT devices are 'normal'. That's why you're all losing to BTK. Suck it shrinking 3.

 

How funny! Ask yourself....what company would you want in your mother. BIO is an absolute joke.

 

I can say that I would rather report on a minor issue like current drain resulting in 4-5 year crtd (industry standard) device than try to spin the totally biased third party study on a failing ICD lead.

BSX will catch this issue early in the very few patients that are affected, rather than discovering that the lead they assured the customer was totally fine shorted his patient's device and they couldn't receive life saving therapy.

Customers are totally cool with this latest information. Probably much more comfortable with this than your customer will be when that shorted device shows up in the lab.

 

You really think they are cool with this?

 

Would you rather do a gen change or lead extraction? You can't rip the SVC with a can change. Ummm, you need your SVC.

 

I think they would rather not have a recall of every device you have sold. I think that would get old. Maybe not for the guys who use BSX a lot. But for guys who mix it up, I can see them mixing up less. Why put in a device you expect to fail? Not being a cock, just a realist.

 

I would rather not put a device in that will have an advisory. What was the last one not on advisory?
