Event or Problem Description
|
|
Reportedly, the patient was admitted to the hospital after having received several inappropriate shocks both at home and at the hospital.A magnet was applied on the icd until a company representative could interrogate the icd.Device interrogation revealed that ventricular coil continuity measurements were below 200 ohms.Since (b)(6) 2020, non-physiological signals with fast rhythm were observed on the ventricular channel, leading to the delivery of inappropriate therapies since (b)(6) 2020.Though the right lead impedance curve was relatively stable, punctual variations of more than 200 ohms were noted since (b)(6) 2020.Consequently, it was decided to turn off the therapies.A revision of the defibrillation system and its replacement were performed on (b)(6) 2020, as the consecutive shock deliveries could have induced a decrease of the battery longevity.Preliminary analysis revealed that the inappropriate shocks delivered on (b)(6) 2020 most probably resulted from a ventricular lead issue.
