Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient implanted with this pacemaker presented to the emergency department with complaint of dizziness.Review of an electrogram (egm) showed large pacing spikes consistent with the device operating in vvi at 72 beats per minute (bpm).It was suspected that the device had reverted to safety mode.It was noted the device showed a battery status of one year remaining at a previous in clinic follow up approximately 2 months ago.The physician planned to have the patient contact their regular cardiologist to schedule a device replacement procedure on an unknown future date.No adverse patient effects were reported.This device remains in service.Additional information has been requested, however, no additional information is available or known at this time.If pertinent information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be submitted.

This product is being evaluated in our post market quality assurance laboratory.This report will be updated when evaluation is complete.Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, this device was thoroughly inspected and analyzed.Interrogation of the device determined it had undergone resets and that bradycardia therapy remained available.The system resets occurred during a telemetry session and caused the device to enter safety mode.Engineers determined that this device was demonstrating behavior consistent with a high internal cell impedance within the battery.The high internal impedance resulted in the system resets due to temporary high-power consumption and subsequent reversion to safety mode operation.Boston scientific has issued a field safety notice regarding ingenio extended life (el) and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p) devices that may exhibit this behavior.This particular device is included in the high impedance in ingenio extended life (el) pacemaker and crt-p advisory population.
