Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this patient received two inappropriate shocks from this subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (sicd).Boston scientific (bsc) technical services (ts) was contacted for episode review.Ts inquired as to what vector the device was programmed to and this information was unknown.The consultant stated the presentation appears to be similar to devices programmed to secondary vector that have a seal plug issue and recommended reprogramming from secondary vector to primary vector.However, if it is discovered that primary was the programmed vector, then this could indicate air at the sensing electrode and the vector should be reprogrammed to secondary.The bsc local area representative will investigate further and program to the vector opposite of what the current programming is.The system remains in service and no additional adverse patient effects were reported.Additional information was received that this device was explanted and returned over five years after the initial clinical observations were reported.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
