Summary
The FDA's MAUDE database contains 7,874 adverse event reports that list this exact device (DI 00802526523458), received between Nov 1, 2016 and Sep 30, 2026 — classified as 36 deaths, 6,159 injuries, 1,679 malfunctions.
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.

MalfunctionSep 30, 2026High impedance
It was reported that this pacemaker system exhibited high out of range pace impedance measurements above 3000 ohms. No adverse patient effects were reported. This system remains in service.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50950839 ↗InjurySep 30, 2026Fracture; High impedance
It was reported that this right atrial (RA) lead exhibited an impedance increase to greater than 3000 ohms, and a lead fracture was suspected.

It was reported that the health care professional (HCP) called Technical Services (TS) for review of an episode on the presenting electrogram (EGM) for this pacemaker system. TS reviewed the data and noted there may be atrial loss of capture (LOC). 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.
