Recent adverse event reports
The 25 most recent of 961 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
MalfunctionSep 25, 2026Under-Sensing
It was reported that the Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited under sensing during Atrial Tachycardia (AT)/Atrial Fibrillation (AF) stored episodes , resulting in termination of AT/AF detected event(s) in progress. The RA lead remains in use. No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
