Abbott Issues New Updates for Implanted Cardiac Devices. New updates designed to provide new patient management tools and further protection against unauthorized access. Every pacemaker manufactured beginning Aug. 28, 2017, will have this update pre-loaded in the device and those devices will not need to be updated. Abbott will continue to make updates and product enhancements across its devices as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to provide safe, effective and secure products for patients. Abbott is communicating with regulatory authorities worldwide to implement the new updates to the implantable devices.”]
