Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50883380 ↗MalfunctionSep 18, 2026Under-Sensing
It was reported that the Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited undersensing during detected arrhythmia episodes and suspected during detected ventricular sensing episodes. It was also reported that the Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited undersensing. The leads remain in use. No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50821109 ↗InjurySep 18, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise; Fracture; High impedance; Over-Sensing; Pacing Problem; High Capture Threshold; Unstable Impedance
It was reported that the patient presented with chest pain, and upon review it was found that the Right Ventricular (RV) lead triggered a Lead Integrity Alert (LIA) due to increase in Sensing Integrity Counter (SIC) and two or more High Rate-Non Sustained episodes. An RV lead fracture was suspected. The lead exhibited high undefined Superior Vena Cava (SVC) coil impedance, varying pacing impedance, oversensing resulting in inhibition of pacing, noise, and high capture thresholds. All high voltage therapies were programmed off. It was also reported that the Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited undersensing during Atrial Tachycardia/Atrial Fibrillation (AT/AF) stored episodes resulting in termination of AT/AF detected event(s) in progress, with inappropriate atrial pacing note at times. The leads remain in use. No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
Patient problems: Chest Pain
MAUDE report 50819509 ↗InjurySep 17, 2026Over-Sensing
It was reported that the Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited T-Wave Oversensing (TWOS) post ventricular sense. Reprogramming was done to adjust the sensitivity and the RV lead remains in use. No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50806764 ↗MalfunctionSep 16, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise; Over-Sensing
It was reported that the Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited noise and triggered a Lead Integrity Alert (LIA) for High Rate Non-Sustained episodes and Sensing Integrity Counter (SIC). The lead remains in use. No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
