It was reported that the healthcare professional (hcp) requested review of device data to confirm device operation of this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d).This patient experienced a non sustained ventricular tachycardia (nsvt), however, the device shows no electrogram (egm) that correlated to the episode.Boston scientific technical services (ts) was consulted and discussed how the nsvt occurred prior to an atrial tachy response (atr) episode, therefore, the device only stored the atr.Upon further review, it was noted the atr occurred with a heart rate of 165 beats per minute (bpm) and was detected in the vt 1 zone, however, the device did not deliver therapy.Ts was not able to determine if this was a dual arrythmia.No adverse patient effects were reported.At this time, this device remains in service.
