It was reported that this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) recorded a code 1003, which states that the voltage is too low for projected remaining capacity.A request was made to have data from this device analyzed.Data analysis showed the battery appeared to be depleting more quickly than expected.Device replacement was recommended.Additionally, this patient experienced an episode in which 1 early ventricular sense blanked out the right atrial (ra) beat.The ventricle became greater than atrium and anti-tachycardia pacing (atp) was inappropriately delivered.Technical services (ts) provided programming optimization and while reviewing observed some previous false atrial tachy response (atr) episodes with noise on both the ra and shock channels, with oversensing only on the ra.This icd remains in service at this time.No adverse patient effects were reported.

The device was not returned for analysis; therefore, a technical analysis could not be performed.Based on a thorough review of the reported complaint, boston scientific has assigned an investigation conclusion code of 'cause linked to device but unable to trace more specifically'.A review of the device history record (dhr) was performed.The review of the dhr identified that there were no process related non-conformances, scrap, or rework performed during the production that could explain the event.The reviews ensure each device meets specification prior to release for use.There is no indication the device manufacturing process contributed to the reported complaint.A risk review was completed and confirmed that the event of oversensing was defined in the risk documentation.This event type has been accounted for during product risk analysis to support acceptable risk benefit for the product.Review of labeling determined that the complaint situation was listed in the manual.There was no indication in the complaint that the product was not used in accordance to labeling.The manual was unlikely to be the cause of the reported complaint; translation, wording, or graphics does not require further review.
