Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the patient presented due to an audible alert.A lead integrity alert (lia) had triggered on the right ventricular (rv) lead due to high rate non-sustained episodes and short ventricular intervals.Oversensing had resulted in the misclassification of episodes as non-sustained ventricular tachycardia or high rate non-sustained episodes.Noise and cross-chamber oversensing were also observed.Programming changes were made to the lead.The patient returned the next day after receiving inappropriate high voltage therapy due to the oversensing and suspected lead fracture.The rv lead was capped and the patient was fitted with a lifevest until the patient could have a laser lead removal. no further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
