Event Description
|
It was reported that this patient was transported by ambulance to the emergency room after receiving multiple shocks.An external shock was required as the patient's rhythm would return shortly after being converted and therapy had been exhausted.Device interrogation revealed a code 1005.A review of the data confirmed the shocks were appropriate.There was one shocking impedance measurement greater than 125 ohms; however, shock impedance was normal during manual testing.There was also an increase in pacing impedance measurements on the left ventricular (lv) channel.A fracture of the competitive rv lead was suspected; however, x-ray did not confirm any lead damage.Defibrillation threshold (dft) testing was performed with normal test results.It was suspected that the higher lv pacing impedance measurements resulted from a vector change and testing following the change was not performed.No system changes were made, and the patient will continue to be followed.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
