Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that following a physical altercation and a fall the patient received inappropriate shocks from the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd).The patient noted discomfort and a jerking feeling in their chest.Upon review of the episodes, it was also noted that short circuit protection (scp) occurred resulting in less than programmed high voltage energy delivery for all six shocks provided.It could not be determined whether the icd or right ventricular (rv) lead was responsible for the scp.Out of range (oor) low impedance was also observed on the rv lead defibrillation and superior vena cava (svc) coils.The rv lead remains in use and the icd was explanted and replaced.No further 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 that the ventricular tachyarrhythmia therapy energy was low.Analysis of the device memory indicated the impedance of the right ventricular defibrillation coil was below the expected lower range.Analysis of the device memory indicated the impedance of the superior vena cava defibrillation coil was below the expected lower range.Medtronic submits this report to comply with fda regulations 21 cfr parts 4 and 803.Medtronic has made reasonable efforts to provide 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.Any required fields that are unpopulated are blank because the information is currently unknown or unavailable.Medtronic will submit a supplemental report if additional relevant information becomes known.
