Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) delivered inappropriate anti-tachycardia pacing (atp) and five electric shocks due to sinus tachycardia.The rate started with a 1:1 rhythm with a high rhythm id (rid) match, then rid became negative which led to the inappropriate therapy.The atp accelerated the ventricular tachycardia (vt) into the ventricular fibrillation (vf) zone.The rhythm went from vf to vt several times during the five shocks.Therapy was exhausted and didn't convert the arrythmia.Also, it was noted there was intermittent atrial oversensing of ventricular signals.Technical services (ts) recommended reprogramming options.This icd remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
