Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported, that approximately 15 days after implantation time, appropriate but ineffective shocks were delivered by the implanted icd and an external shock was delivered by the emergency doctor.The device could no longer be queried and is functionally ineffective (no more ventricular stimulation in the case of (b)(6)).On (b)(6) 2020 the icd delivered multiple shocks, but these were not effective.The emergency doctor found ventricular fibrillation and shocked the patient externally several times.This enabled the patient to be brought into a normal-frequency heart rhythm.The patient was admitted to the (b)(6) hospital and given an ecmo due to his poor condition.Later the patient was transferred to another hospital and remains in the intensive care unit.
