Event Description
|
Reportedly, during the follow-up on (b)(6) 2020, an alert was observed stating that the ventricular lead impedance was below 200 ohms on (b)(6) 2020.The lead impedance curve showed intermittent drops from 500 ohms to 200 ohms, starting from around (b)(6) 2020.During the follow-up, all impedance values were measured within normal range and the charge time test was 15 seconds, which seems high for an icd that has been implanted for 4 years.On (b)(6) 2020, an alert was received on the remote monitoring report stating that the ventricular lead impedance was below 200 ohms on (b)(6) 2020, with this criterion reached for 3 consecutive days.The lead and coil impedance curves showed intermittent drops below normal range.On (b)(6) 2020, the icd was interrogated showing normal lead and coil impedance values and a high pacing threshold that has been constant for several years.A charge time test was manually performed at 14 seconds.The episodes recorded in the device memory showed oversensing for several years, which could be due to myopotentials.During both the follow-ups, traction tests and valsalva maneuvers were performed, however no event was reproduced.Preliminary analysis revealed that the beginning of a ventricular lead issue is suspected.
