Recent adverse event reports
The 25 most recent of 339 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
MalfunctionSep 16, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise; Over-Sensing
It was reported that this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) had a magnet applied during a procedure. Following the procedure, Technical Services (TS) was consulted to evaluate device performance. TS reviewed the available data and confirmed that the device appeared to be functioning as programmed and expected. TS noted the presence of stored noise events that correlated with magnet application; however, no device-related issues or complications were identified. This device remains in service. No adverse patient effects were reported.
