This information is based entirely on journal literature.This event occurred outside the us.All information provided is included in this report.Patient information is limited due to confidentiality concerns.Of note, multiple patients were noted in the article; however, a one to one correlation could not be made with unique serial numbers.The model listed in the report is a representative of the model family, as there is no specific model listed.The baseline gender/age of the patients represented in the article is male/57 years old.Without a lot number or device serial number, the manufacturing date cannot be determined.Since no device id was provided, it is unknown if this event has been previously reported.Request for additional information will be made and upon receipt a supplemental report will be submitted accordingly.Referenced article: performance of a new leadless implantable cardiac monitor in detecting and quantifying atrial fibrillation results of the xpect trial.Circulation: arrhythmia and electrophysiology.2010; 3 (2):141-147.Doi://10.1161/circep.109.877852 of note, the clinical trial is clinical trial registration¿clinicaltrials.Gov identifier nct00680927.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.

A journal article was reviewed which contained information regarding implantable loop recorders (ilrs).The article reported that there were ¿false positive¿ detections¿ noted.The misdetections were alleged to be due to myopotentials, oversensing, and r-wave undersensing.There were also premature ventricular or atrial complexes (pvcs or pacs) and other arrhythmias noted in patients.The status of the ilr is unknown.Further follow up did not yet yield any additional information.No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
