Manufacturer Narrative
|
Product event summary: the lead was not returned for analysis, however, performance data collected from the device was received and analyzed.Analysis of the device memory indicated the impedance of the left ventricular pacing lead was below the expected lower range, the trend was decreasing and pacing capture threshold was high.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Event Description
|
It was reported that the left ventricular (lv) lead exhibited high thresholds, a warning for low pacing impedance, and the lv lead impedance trend displayed multiple drops in impedance.It was also noted there were abnormal egm signals/artifacts.A lead integrity issue was suspected for possible insulation issue.Due to the changes in lv output, the cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p) longevity suddenly decreased.The lv threshold and impedance temporarily stabilized resulting in an increase and recovery in device longevity.The crt-p and lv lead remain in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
