Event Description
|
It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) and non boston scientific right atrial (ra) lead exhibited impedance measurements of greater than 3000 ohms, causing the device to emit tones.Additionally, ra noise and oversensing were observed; which appeared to be due to minute ventilation (mv) signal oversensing.The right ventricular (rv) lead intrinsic amplitude measurements were also out of range, exhibited by a non boston scientific rv lead.Boston scientific technical services (ts) discussed programming and troubleshooting options with the health care professional (hcp).No adverse patient effects were reported.The device remains in service.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
This product has not been returned to boston scientific, and as a result, laboratory analysis could not be conducted.The associated investigation determined that this device exhibited intermittent impedance measurements with no conclusive evidence of a malfunction or inadequate lead-to-device connection, and oversensing of noise generated by the minute ventilation (mv)/respiratory sensor that is related to a high impedance condition.Please see the description for more information regarding the specific circumstances of this event.
