It was reported that the non-boston scientific right ventricular (rv) lead of this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) system exhibited high pacing impedance measurements within normal range.Additionally, reproducible noise on the rv channel was noted, however the noise was not sensed by the icd.Technical services (ts) recommended to continue monitoring.This icd remains in service.No adverse patient effects were reported.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This product has not been returned to boston scientific, and as a result, laboratory analysis could not be conducted.The associated investigation determined that this device exhibited intermittent changes in impedance measurements with no conclusive evidence of a product performance issue or inadequate lead-to-device connection; please refer to the description for more information regarding the specific circumstances of this event.Engineering analysis and testing of returned products has determined that repeated, small movements of the lead terminal ring along with variances in the connection contact force and surface roughness can impact the connection between the spring contact and the lead ring, resulting in intermittent changes in impedance measurement.
