It was reported that this pacemaker exhibited oversensing of noise in 2 separate episodes resulting in an unknown duration of pacing inhibition.Noise was unable to be reproduced with provocative maneuvers.Technical services (ts) reviewed the stored episodes and discussed the potential of the noise being external in nature and potentially related to a procedure based on the close proximity of the events.Ts also noted there was a signal artifact monitor (sam) episode at the exact same time, which, resulted in the minute ventilation (mv) feature being disabled.The noise was suspected to be external in nature.The physician planned to reset the device counters and continue routine monitoring.No adverse patient effects were reported.This device remains in service.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
