Event Description
|
Reportedly, during a follow-up performed on (b)(6) 2019 high ventricular lead impedance (3000 ohms) was observed.Additionally, ventricular noise oversensing was observed on the episodes recorded on the device memory and in a real time ecg performed.Ventricular lead polarity switched from bipolar to unipolar on (b)(6) 2019 due to the abnormal impedance values.At the end of the follow-up, the subject pacemaker was programmed on aai mode.Preliminary analysis confirmed the reported abnormal high ventricular lead impedance, as well as the presence of episodes showing non-physiological signals (noise/artifacts) with ventricular noise oversensing since (b)(6) 2019 (at least).Additionally, abnormal low lead impedance and noise oversensing since (b)(6) 2019 (at least) were also observed in the atrial channel.The origin of these non-physiological signals is unknown.It could be located at lead(s) level, connection(s) level or device level: none of them can be confirmed with available data.
