Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that a lead integrity alert (lia) triggered on the right ventricular (rv) lead.The rv lead exhibited oversensing, high pacing impedance, and was suspected to be fractured.The lead was programmed off and remains in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
