Why the product was recalled
Due to a programmer software anomaly, during finalizing of the leadless pacemaker system, a specific sequence of programmer actions combined with a loss of telemetry during a small window (<2 seconds) may cause the finalization step to fail. If this occurs, the Programmer displays a loss of telemetry detected window, and there is no pacing.
