Event Description

It was reported that the patient implanted with this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) presented to the emergency room after a fall and receiving two shocks.The shock therapy was felt to be inappropriate due to potential rapid ventricular response.Interrogation of the device with a programmer found the device was in safety mode and the device had recorded three messages indicating a potential memory anomaly.Device replacement was recommended.Surgical intervention was undertaken.The device was explanted and replaced.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.At this time, the product has not been returned.If the product is returned, analysis will be performed and this report would be updated at that time.

Manufacturer Narrative

F10: patient code 3191 captures the reportable event of surgery.Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, this device was thoroughly inspected and analyzed.Interrogation of the device confirmed it was operating in safety mode and that both brady and tachy therapy remained available.Review of device memory identified an error.The error resulted in software resets performed in an attempt to correct an identified memory inconsistency.The corrupted memory was corrected in the laboratory and the device reverted to normal operation.The cause of the memory inconsistency was not able to be determined through laboratory testing but was likely the result of exposure to radiation, either therapeutic or environmental.
