Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ev-icd) classified an episode as oversensing noise.It was determined that the patient works in a coal mine and was near a high-frequency machine at the time of the episode, and extravascular (ev) lead noise was recreated with isometric movements of the patients left arm.Since the machine and positional changes may have both contributed to the episode, oversensing protection was increased to 6 where only a minimal amount of noise was still visible on electrograms (egm) but was not marked as sensed with additional isometric maneuvers.The ev-icd and lead remain in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
