Manufacturer Narrative
|
This device was reported as included in the field action.Based on the information received and without the return of the product, it cannot be confirmed that this device performed as described in the field action.It is included in the field action in the abundance of caution.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Event Description
|
It was reported that post-operative to a left ventricular assist device (lvad) implant procedure, the left ventricular lead threshold was high.The lead remains in use.It was also reported that a lead integrity alert was triggered for short v-v intervals and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia episodes, and r wave sensing was low.Noise could not be reproduced on the ventricular electrogram and when performance data was reviewed, it revealed the oversensing only took place for one hour, which indicated electromagnetic interference (emi) may have affected the cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) at that time.The device remains in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The device was not returned for analysis.However, performance data collected from the device was received and analyzed.Analysis of the device memory indicated oversensing due to non-physiologic signals/sensing integrity counter.Analysis of the device memory ind icated diminished right ventricular sensing.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

It was later reported that a follow-on surgery to the lvad procedure was necessary, which was the source of the emi that affected the crt-d.
