MAUDE report 50947203 ↗InjurySep 30, 2026Failure to Capture; Device Dislodged or Dislocated; High Capture Threshold
It was reported that seven weeks post implant the Right Atrial (RA) lead and Right Ventricular (RV) Left Bundle Branch (LBB) lead dislodged. The RV LBB lead exhibited high thresholds and intermittent capture. The RA lead exhibited no capture and no sensing. The physician was suspicious of Twiddler's Syndrome due to the lack of slack and possible twists in the leads seen on x-ray. Upon opening the pocket, knots were seen in the lead coils, indicating the dislodgement was due to Twiddlers' Syndrome. The RV LBB lead was reprogrammed. The RA lead and RV LBB leads were explanted and replaced. No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.

MAUDE report 50916929 ↗InjurySep 28, 2026Failure to Capture; High impedance; Over-Sensing; Under-Sensing; Capturing Problem; Device Dislodged or Dislocated; Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem; High Capture Threshold; Unstable Capture Threshold
It was reported that approximately three weeks post implant of an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) system, the patient experienced asystole, which seen from the ambulance electrocardiogram (ECG) recording when they were hooked up to an external pacer. The patient also experienced bradycardia, dizziness and pre-syncope. The Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited unstable thresholds, no capture, oversensing, short v-v intervals, cross talk oversensing, undersensing, high and rising thresholds and high impedance. A possible micro perforation was suspected and the lead had pulled back resulting in poor tissue interface. The RV lead was explanted and replaced. It was also noted that the Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited cross talk oversensing. The lead remains in use. No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
Patient problems: Asystole; Bradycardia; Cardiac Perforation; Dizziness
