Topic update: this appraisal has not been defined as therapeutically critical. The appraisal will therefore be paused. At this stage, we are unable to provide alternative timelines as to when the appraisal may be re-started but we will provide an update when this information is available.

Timeline
Key events during the development of the guidance:
| Date | Update |
|---|---|
| 05 May 2020 | Schedule affected by COVID-19. Topic update: this appraisal has not been defined as therapeutically critical. The appraisal will therefore be paused. At this stage, we are unable to provide alternative timelines as to when the appraisal may be re-started but we will provide an update when this information is available. |
| 12 November 2019 | The Technology appraisal (ID1440) for TYRX Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope for preventing infection from cardiac implantable electronic devices has been suspended. Medtronic have offered a Patient Access Scheme, however, NHS England recently provided feedback that this proposal could not be operationalised. Consequently Medtronic requested NICE to suspend the Technology Appraisal while other options are explored. |
