Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) delivered inappropriate anti-tachycardia pacing (atp) and seven inappropriate shocks for rapid ventricular response (rvr) over five episodes.Over 20 ventricular episodes were stored, and only two electrograms (egms) were stored.Due to the large number of events and the long durations of therapy events, device memory was full.The shock events are the highest priority, and the device start storing when a new event starts in case it ends with shocks.As a result, the previous shock events are overwritten.Technical services (ts) discussed troubleshooting options and programming considerations, such as reducing the number of stored non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (nsvt) events and no therapy events.This icd remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Device technical analysis: this product has not been returned to boston scientific, and as a result, laboratory analysis could not be conducted.Device history record review: 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.Labeling review: 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.Risk assessment: a risk review was completed and confirmed that the event of inappropriate shock 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.Investigation conclusion: based on a thorough review of the reported complaint, boston scientific has assigned an investigation conclusion code of cause not established.
