		<description><![CDATA[The debate over the approval process of medical devices at the FDA continues. The FDA&#8217;s approval process for heart devices such as pacemakers and stents is being scrutinized, based upon results of two recent studies. Safety targets often weren&#8217;t clearly spelled out in the research submitted by device makers and important patient information was missing, according to one study conducted by researchers from the FDA and Boston&#8217;s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. A separate analysis by researchers at the University &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Food and Drug Administration has warned Medtronic Inc. about problems found during a recent inspection of the company’s Minnesota facility where pacemakers and other cardiac devices are made. Problems noted in the FDA warning letter involve the company’s corrective and preventive action, a review and documentation of field action recommendations, supplier qualification and controls, and medical device reporting timeliness, according to a Reuters news report. The world’s largest medical device maker has 15 days to respond to the FDA &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new study finds patients risk serious and potentially fatal complications when they undergo surgery to replace or add wiring to implanted pacemakers or other devices designed to stabilize heart rhythms. Researchers from the University of Washington, Seattle took data from patients who had surgeries to replace or add wires to a pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization (CRT) generator and compared the findings to patients who did not require such surgeries, according to a HealthDay news report. &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Medtronic Inc., a worldwide leader in heart defibrillators, pacemakers, and other implantable heart devices, is warning patients and doctors about problems with the batteries in about 6,300 of the company’s defibrillators. The batteries in Medtronic Concerto CRT-D (cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators) and Medtronic Virtuoso ICD defibrillators may run out of juice sooner than designed, the company said in a warning letter sent to heart doctors last week. The devices are implanted in the chests of heart patients to help manage &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two wireless-ready pacemakers made by St. Jude Medical Inc. have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The pacemakers, called the Accent RF and the Anthem RF CRT-P, have the ability to communicate wirelessly with clinicians at a hospital or by using an in-home monitor. Using the wireless pacemakers allows physicians to implant the device in patients and monitor the devices while patients are at home or on the go, without requiring frequent in-office follow up visits. “The pacemakers &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Medtronic Inc., a leading manufacturer of medical devices, is recalling about three million of its insulin infusion sets because the units may deliver incorrect amounts of insulin to patients, possibly causing severe injury or death, according to a report today in The Wall Street Journal. A problem in how about 60,000 of the units vent air pressure may be causing the dosage problems, company officials said. The sets are used with Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump and consist of thin plastic &#8230;]]></description>

Citing a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, the judge dismissed more than two dozen personal injury lawsuits which had been filed seeking damages caused by a faulty heart device.
