Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited undefined high pacing impedance, low pacing impedance, impedance spikes, and noise.A lead integrity alert (lia) was triggered for incrementing sensing integrity counter (sic).The rv lead is suspected to be fractured on the low-voltage portion.Reprogramming was performed and the lead remains in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
