The most frequently reported specific device problem is “High impedance” (1,589 reports).

28 other recalls cover devices cleared under the same FDA submission (P150012); they may or may not involve this specific model.

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. How this data works · Data updated Oct 13, 2026.

TS also noted the device was programmed oddly and did not believe the episode was slow ventricular tachycardia (VT), rather, loss of AV synchrony due to programming. TS discussed how the device was programmed with the HCP. Information from the field was received and it was believed to be functional LOC due to refractory tissue. No adverse patient effects were reported. This right atrial (RA) lead remains in service.
