Event Description
|
It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p) was explanted due to the safety core advisory letter, but did not exhibit advisory behavior.During the explant procedure, the non-boston scientific right ventricular (rv) lead was stuck in the crt-p header, and was difficult to remove.The physician completely removed the setscrew and used considerable mineral oil to successfully remove the lead.A new device of a different model was successfully implanted.The crt-p and wrench with setscrew was returned and analysis is pending.This report will be updated with pertinent information upon completion of device analysis.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The returned device was thoroughly inspected and analyzed upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory.The device was then exposed to simulated heart load conditions, and the pacing, and sensing functions were tested.Impedance testing was completed and all measurements were within normal limits.The device operated appropriately with no interruptions in therapy output at the returned programmed settings.A series of electrical tests was also performed, and again, normal device function was observed.Analysis did not identify any device characteristics that would have caused or contributed to the reported clinical observations.
