Event Description

It was reported that the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) experienced several episodes of high frequency external noise/emi (electromagnetic interference).It was noted that a lead integrity alert (lia) triggered due to high rate non-sustained episodes and elevated (sensing integrity counter) of which shows the short v-v counts to be limited to days of when the emi occurred.The icd remains in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

Manufacturer Narrative

Product event summary: the device was not returned for analysis, however, performance data collected from the device was received and analyzed.Analysis of the device memory indicated emi.Analysis of the device memory indicated a right ventricular lead integrity alert, but the criteria were not met.Analysis of the device memory indicated noise.Analysis of the device memory indicated oversensing due to non-physiologic signals/sensing integrity counter.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

Event Description

It was further reported that the physician suspected the right ventricular (rv) lead to be fractured due to noise.However, consulta tion with the company¿s technical services determined there is no indication of lead integrity concerns as the cause of the high frequency noise is related to an external emi source.The entire icd system was explanted and replaced.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
