It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) exhibited oversensing of noisy signals on the right ventricular (rv) lead channel that resulted in inappropriate anti-tachycardia pacing (atp) and shock therapy.The shock occurred in one episode.Additionally, there were concerns of the device's power consumption.Technical services (ts) performed a data analysis and confirmed that the device was depleting normally.The physician planned on turning off tachy therapy for the patient and putting a lifevest on the patient.Ts suggested reprogramming to address the oversensing.The device remains in use.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
