Medtronic CareLink SmartSync Patient Connector, Model Number 24967 with the following software components:
In prior SmartSync application versions, the Abort button stopped the test that was selected. During an induction test, there was a limited window of time for the user to abort a therapy, thereby limiting the user's ability to cancel a high voltage therapy delivery.

Patient Connector, Model Number 24967
There is a rare communication sequence during the first device interrogation with a SmartSync Device Manager that may result in the temporary suspension of some device features (i.e., battery measurements, Capture Management", Atrial Lead Position Check", EffectivCRT" algorithms, and AdaptivCRT"). This rare interaction results in temporary suspension of automatic threshold testing and output adjustments, and suspension of auto-optimization of CRT therapy. The issue is unlikely to result in clinical impact to the patient, and features are restored upon next programmer device interrogation or presence of a magnet.
