Correction of g3 field to : healthcare representative review of the provided data revealed : - on (b)(6) 2023, during a tachycardia episode 2 shocks were launched by the device.O the first shock was not delivered due to an overload measurement.O less than one second later, the second shock delivered 31j with a high impedance measurement.The shock was partially delivered.- since (b)(6) 2023, right ventricular lead impedance measurements were stable and within normal range.The device was explanted and returned for analysis : - upon reception, the returned device was interrogated: o 2 small holes were observed on the can of the device.These holes were probably created by a degraded lead in contact with the device.O ventricular channel was with 2,6 v amplitude, and 0.63ms pacing pulse width; o proper sensing and pacing operations were observed; o no overconsumption was observed during consumption measurements by telemetry.O battery voltage was measured at 2,97v.O low energy shock between the rv coil and the case could not be properly delivered by the device.Investigation revealed damage of the integrated circuit (ic), at the level of the circuits driving the shock delivery.- based on the aforementioned observations, the most probable hypothesis to explain the device impossibility to properly deliver the 1st shock is a temporary short circuit (created by a temporary contact with a degraded lead).Performing this 1st shock attempt in these conditions, lead to permanent damage on the diamond ic of the device and consequently the 2nd shock could not be totally delivered.
