Event Description
|
It was reported that this cardiac re-synchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) delivered inappropriate therapy to the patient during an intrinsic ventricular tachycardia storm.Five months later the patient experienced a syncope episode and was transported to the hospital, analysis of the device was performed and it was found that the device recorded a code 1007 indicative of the capacitor charge time exceeding the limit.Additionally, it was determined that the battery of the device had been depleted, raising suspicions of premature battery depletion.It was decided to explant and replace this device.This device is expected to be returned to boston scientific for analysis.No further adverse patient effects were reported.

The returned defibrillator was analyzed and an engineering-level longevity prediction calculation was completed to assess the rate of battery depletion.Given the programmed parameters and other data stored within the memory of the device, the results of this calculation indicated that the actual rate of battery depletion fell within an acceptable range.Next, a series of diagnostic tests were conducted that verified the performance of pacing, sensing, defibrillation, and recording functions.Having met the engineering longevity prediction, functionally passed all returned product testing, and with no further information to indicate a product performance issue, we have concluded that this device experienced normal battery depletion.
