Boston Scientific Accolade Pacemaker Recall – What to Expect During an Interrogation Procedure
If you have received a recall notice alerting you to the fact that your Boston Scientific Accolade pacemaker may have a battery defect, you’re likely in line for an in-person interrogation done by your cardiologist or electrophysiologist. You’re probably wondering – what is a device interrogation? Not only does the term sound daunting, you most likely do not know its connection to your health, but more importantly, your legal claim.
That said, the procedure is an urgent one and is vital to your ongoing health, and it is something you cannot opt out of. Boston Scientific, as well as the FDA, published recall notices stating that the batteries inside Accolade pacemakers are at risk of going into SAFETY MODE as a means of retaining whatever little battery is left so the patient can go and see a cardiologist so an operation is carried out to replace said device before it is too late.
This is something that Boston Scientific was said to be aware of for years, but failed to inform both the medical community and the patients fitted with their device, creating negligent circumstances that led to the deaths of dozens of individuals. If you or a loved one has been booked for an interrogation as a result of the defective battery in the Accolade pacemaker, read on to find out exactly what the procedure is and why it could potentially save your life if carried out in a timely manner.

What the Interrogation Actually is and Why it Matters
Put simply, this is a sophisticated diagnostic procedure that is able to reveal occult details about the performance of your pacemaker.
- To begin with, the technician or electrophysiologist places a wand over your chest, which then communicates with your device via radiofrequency signals. Then, instantaneously, the device downloads a complete history of the device’s operation, including every heartbeat, pulse, and high battery impedance episode logged since the last interrogation
- Through this process, the cardiologist or electrophysiologist is able to see your battery voltage, projected device life that remains, and if there have been any episodes of high internal cell impedance since the last interrogation; this almost always precedes the Safety Mode that Boston Scientific has been trying to hide from both you and regulators for years.
- The printout also shows if your device has already entered Safety Mode in the past at any point, and if it has, you may have an explanation as to why at one point you started feeling dizzy, short of breath, and fatigued out of the blue.
- The data from the interrogation is also vital to your legal claim, as it will have data pointing to exactly when the defect started showing signs, as this is evidence establishing that the company was aware of the issue, yet it failed to inform you about the same in a timely manner.
