Upon receipt, the icd was interrogated, revealing the eos battery status.The device was implanted for approximately 92 months and 134 charging cycles were recorded in the devices memory.The memory content of the device was inspected.During the analysis of the available iegms, noise was observed in the right ventricular channel, leading to multiple charging cycles that partially resulted in shock deliveries.The inspection of the shock holter data showed that an amount of 63 charging cycles were performed by the device within 30 minutes on (b)(6) 2022.As a result of that fast-successive charging the eos battery status had occurred.The eos status was removed with a technical programmer and subsequent interrogation revealed the eri battery status.All electrical parameters were verified and showed a normal device behavior.Especially, the current consumption and the battery state of discharge were found normal and as expected.In a next step, the ability of the device to deliver therapies was verified.The anti-bradycardia pacing pulses proved to be normal and in amplitude and frequency as programmed.A fibrillation signal was applied and the device delivered a defibrillation shock as specified, documenting a normal and expected sensing and shock delivery.In particular, the specified energy level was reached.In conclusion, in the available iegms the occurrence of noise was observed in the right ventricular channel.This led to fast successive charging cycles that partially resulted in shock deliveries.The activation of the eos status resulted from that fast-successive charging.However, there was no indication of an icd malfunction.
