Event Description
|
It was reported that the right ventricular (rv) lead had an alert for low rv tip to rv coil impedance.It was noted the lead was programmed bipolar.The lead remains in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

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 oversensing associated with the right ventricular lead.Analysis of the device memory indicated the impedance of the right ventricular pacing lead was below the expected lower range.Analysis of the device memory indicated oversensing due to non-physiologic signals/sensing integrity counter.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Event Description
|
It was further reported the right ventricular (rv) lead integrity alert (lia) had triggered for high rate non-sustained episodes and a high sensing integrity counter (sic).It was noted the rv bipolar and rv tip/rv coil impedances has dropped significantly and were low.Lead noise was observed on the high rate non-sustained episodes.During the lead removal it was noted the lead insulation had damage and was torn and crushed in the area where the lead went threw the clavicle and rib.The lead was explanted and replaced.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

Product event summary: the full lead was returned and analyzed.Analysis indicated that the inner insulation of the lead developed a breach at the first rib/clavicle location while in vivo.The outer insulation of the lead was breached due to bi/multi-lumen tubing voids while in vivo.The outer insulation of the lead developed a breach at the first rib/clavicle location while in vivo.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
