Recent adverse event reports
The 25 most recent of 3,015 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
MalfunctionSep 30, 2026Break
It was reported that the Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited oversensing and a mirrored artifact possibly due to an insulation breach on the Right Ventricular (RV) lead. This resulted in frequent mode switching to DDIR. Both 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 50605046 ↗MalfunctionSep 3, 2026Pacing Problem; Under-Sensing
It was reported that the Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited undersensing under reporting of Atrial Tachycardia/Atrial Fibrillation (AT/AF) events and inappropriate pacing. It was also reported that the Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited undersensing resulting in false termination of episode and inappropriate pacing. The RV and RA lead remains in use. No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
