During an in-clinic follow-up, high pacing impedance, high defibrillation impedance, and a loss of capture were observed on all leads.In addition, the device was unable to sense or pace.A revision procedure was performed, and when the leads were connected to the pacing system analyzer, all measurements were normal.The device was explanted and replaced to resolve the event.The patient was in stable condition.

The reported field event of impedance, sensing, and pacing anomalies were confirmed.The device was above elective replacement indicator (eri) upon receipt.Functional testing in the laboratory replicated all reported events on the bench.The cause of the reported events was due to an anomalous integrated circuit in the hybrid.
