Recent adverse event reports
The 25 most recent of 3,967 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
MalfunctionSep 30, 2026Fracture
It was reported that this right ventricular (RV) lead exhibited a potential fracture and was programmed for unipolar pacing. In addition, the patient was scheduled to undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Technical Services (TS) advised that the device has been tested for HBOT exposure up to 5.0 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) and that no restrictions apply regarding the lead anomaly or unipolar pacing. To date, this RV lead remains in service. No adverse patient effects were reported.

MAUDE report 50899890 ↗InjurySep 25, 2026High impedance
It was reported that this pacemaker system triggered a lead safety switch (LSS) due to a high out of range impedance measurements for its right ventricular (RV) lead. A revision was performed for the pacemaker since it just had a year left of battery longevity, with the RV lead to be revised at a later date since the patients vessel was occluded and no access was possible. A new pacemaker was implanted. This RV lead remains in service. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50897492 ↗DeathSep 24, 2026Insufficient Device Problem Information
It was reported that this patient was scheduled to undergo a laser lead extraction procedure involving this right ventricular (RV) lead. Technical Services (TS) was consulted regarding magnet application instructions and the process for paging a local company representative. TS provided the requested information; however, no additional details regarding the reason for the procedure were provided. At this time, it had not been confirmed whether the procedure had been performed. This RV lead remains in service. No adverse patient effects were reported

Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50831296 ↗InjurySep 14, 2026Device Dislodged or Dislocated; High Capture Threshold
It was reported that this right ventricular (RV) lead exhibited high pacing thresholds. On the fluoroscopy review, it was noted that there was little slack left for that RV lead which likely caused higher thresholds over time. This lead was surgically abandoned and a new lead was successfully placed. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

MAUDE report 50602049 ↗MalfunctionSep 4, 2026Failure to Capture
It was reported that the patient with this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system visited the emergency room (ER) with heart rate in the 30s and 40s range. The health care professional (HCP) called Technical Services (TS) for a consult review of the presenting electrogram (EGM). Upon review, the electrogram (EGM) showed possible loss of capture (LOC) on the right ventricular (RV) lead. No adverse patient effects were reported. This RV lead remains in service.
Patient problems: Bradycardia
MAUDE report 50601339 ↗InjurySep 4, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise
