It was reported that during a routine generator replacement procedure, the physician noted a possible setscrew/header issue as they had trouble with the pin going in the new header.At a two week post operative check, the patient¿s alarm was sounding.An interrogation noted that 3 days post implant there was high undefined pacing impedance, oversensing, increased and high threshold on the right ventricular (rv) lead.It was noted that during the interrogation intermittent capture was noted on the rv lead.The lead was reprogrammed.Approximately 1 week later the alarm sounded again.Episodes showed oversensing on the rv lead.The lead was again reprogrammed.Approximately 1 week later the alarm sounded again.The physician decided to bring the patient back to the cath lab to attempt to replace the rv lead, however subclavian access was unsuccessful.During the procedure the physician unscrewed and tried to advance the rv lead to make sure it was not a header issue, but the physician said the lead was already passed the pin.No capture was then noted on the rv lead.The rv lead was programmed off and the patient is being paced by the left ventricular (lv) lead as they are dependent.The device remains in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

Product event summary: the lead was not returned for analysis, however, performance data collected from the device was received and analyzed.Analysis of the device memory indicated the impedance of the right ventricular pacing lead was beyond the expected upper range.Analysis of the device memory indicated pacing capture threshold in the right ventricle was elevated.Analysis of the device memory indicated pacing capture threshold in the right ventricle was rising.Analysis of the device memory indicated oversensing due to non-physiologic signals/sensing integrity counter.Analysis of the device memory indicated oversensing associated with the right ventricular lead.Medtronic is submitting this report to comply with fda reporting regulations under 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.This report is based upon information obtained by medtronic, which the company may not have been able to fully investigate or verify prior to the date the report was required by the fda.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to obtain more complete information and has provided as much relevant information as is available to the company as of the submission date of this report.This report does not constitute an admission or a conclusion by fda, medtronic, or its employees that the device, medtronic, or its employee caused or contributed to the event described in the report.In particular, this report does not constitute an admission by anyone that the product described in this report has any ¿defects¿ or has ¿malfunctioned¿.These words are included in the fda 3500a form and are fixed items for selection created by the fda to categorize the type of event solely for the purpose of regulatory reporting.Medtronic objects to the use of these words and others like them because of the lack of definition and the connotations implied by these terms.This statement should be included with any information or report disclosed to the public under the freedom of information act.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.A good faith effort will be made to obtain the applicable information relevant to the report.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
