Event Description

Related manufacturer reference number: 2017865-2020-17193 and 2017865-2020-17194.During a clinic follow-up, a loss of pacing and episodes of oversensing were observed on the device and a low pacing impedance, loss of capture, and episodes of high ventricular rate due to noise resulting in oversensing and pacing inhibition were observed on the right ventricular (rv) lead.It is unknown if the oversensing and loss of pacing was due to the device or the rv lead, but the patient is pacemaker dependent and experienced falls as a result.Furthermore, a low pacing impedance was observed on the right atrial (ra) lead.Technical support was contacted and the device was reprogrammed to resolve the event.The patient was stable and will continue to be monitored.

Event Description
|
Additional information was received that the patient experienced syncope due to the device or the right ventricular (rv) lead.Furthermore, both the device and the rv lead were explanted and replaced to resolve the event.Additionally, during the revision procedure, the right atrial (ra) lead was also explanted and replaced.The patient was stable and will continue to be monitored.

Additional information: d9, h3, and h6 the reported events of pacing, capture, and sensing issues were not confirmed.The device was received at a normal range of operation with telemetry working appropriately.Functional analysis of the device was performed, including output monitoring, capture, and sensitivity tests, and no issues were revealed.Visual inspection of the atrial, right ventricular, and left ventricular channels did not reveal any anomalies that would cause the anomalies that were seen in the field.A longevity assessment was performed and the device was in the normal range of operation with appropriate remaining longevity.
