During an emergency hospitalization, back-up mode due to power on reset (por) was observed on the device.Three aborted shocks were seen due to over-current detection (ocd), and right ventricular (rv) lead damage of a non-abbott lead is suspected to have caused the ocd.Upon entering back-up mode, the device was unable to store device memory and technical support was unable to determine if the patient received shocks.The patient reports receiving multiple shocks and experiencing a syncope.The device was replaced successfully, and the patient was stable with no adverse consequences.

Additional information: the device was received in normal operating mode after being restored in the field.Bench testing was performed which included impedance measurements, sense testing, pace output testing, hv output testing, and patient notifier activation.The device tested normally in all bench testing assessments.Stress testing was performed through temperature cycling to attempt to reproduce the reported failure.After temperature cycling, bench testing was performed, which included impedance measurements and hv output testing.The device tested normally in all bench testing assessments.A device image that was retrieved prior to the device field restoration showed that cause of the reset was due to a power-on reset (por).The reported event of backup mode due to a por was confirmed.The por was unable to be reproduced and the cause of the por was undetermined.
