Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the defibrillation right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited high out of range (oor) defibrillation impedance.It was also reported that the epicardial pacing rv lead exhibited a rising trend in pacing impedance measurements.The defibrillation lead and epicardial lead remain in use. no patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
