MAUDE report 50829478 ↗MalfunctionSep 18, 2026Interrogation Problem
It was reported that during a clinic visit, the health care professional (HCP) reported being unable to read this pacemaker device data on the programmer. The HCP called Technical Services (TS) for troubleshooting assistance. TS verified the correct programmer was in use and walked the HCP through troubleshooting and rebooting efforts. The troubleshooting efforts were unsuccessful due to programmer was unable to interrogate the device. TS discussed possible causes and advised the HCP to contact the local field representative for further troubleshooting assistance. No adverse patient effects were reported. At this time, the pacemaker and programmer remain in service.
