The FDA's MAUDE database contains 657 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00613994446350), received between Aug 7, 2014 and Sep 30, 2026 — classified as 10 deaths, 420 injuries, 227 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Over-Sensing” (267 reports).

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event, and counts can't be used to compare devices or estimate failure rates.

  • InjuryAug 13, 2026Over-Sensing; Pacing Problem; Defibrillation/Stimulation Problem; Under-Sensing

    It was reported that the Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D) may have inappropriately classified Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) episodes as Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) and delayed therapy due to stability and onset discriminators.

A Lead Integrity Alert (LIA) triggered for the RV lead due to High Rate Non-Sustained episodes and elevated Sensing Integrity Counter (SIC). The CRT-D and RV lead remain in use. No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
