  • MalfunctionSep 25, 2026High impedance

    It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) system exhibited high out of range shock lead impedance measurements greater than 125 Ohms. Technical Services (TS) was consulted and upon data review discussed this is not a gradual rise. TS recommended programming enhancements and continue monitoring. This device remains in service. No adverse patient effects were reported.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50897179 ↗
  • InjurySep 24, 2026Insufficient Device Problem Information

    It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) was explanted due to unknown reasons. Additional information was requested but unable to be obtained at this time. No additional adverse patient effects were reported. This CRT-D has not been returned for analysis.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50885489 ↗
  • MalfunctionSep 24, 2026Over-Sensing; Pacing Problem

    It was reported that this device was oversensing signals from the right ventricular and left ventricular channel resulting in unexpected mode switches. Technical Services (TS) was consulted and recommended turning on ventricular rate regulation. TS noted an increase in biventricular pacing as a result of the unexpected mode switches. No adverse patient effects were reported. This device remains in service.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50882217 ↗
  • MalfunctionSep 23, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise; Over-Sensing

    It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) stored inappropriate Atrial Tachy Response (ATR) episodes due to oversensed noise. Review of the available device data indicated that the episodes contained noise artifact on all leads and were most likely associated with electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals due to electrocautery use during the implant procedure. Technical Services (TS) reviewed the device data and determined that the device was operating as programmed. No adverse patient effects were reported. This CRT-D remains in service.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50869899 ↗
  • MalfunctionSep 18, 2026High impedance

    It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) lead recorded high out of range shock impedance measurements on the right ventricular (RV) channel. Technical Services (TS) reviewed the available device data and identified a measurement of approximately 126 ohms. Further review indicated impedance variability over time and that there was no evidence of a gradual impedance rise. TS recommended a follow up device interrogation to confirm that the impedance did not continue to increase and consideration to increase the out of range alert threshold to 150 ohms. No adverse patient effects were reported. This CRT-D remains in service.

  • InjurySep 9, 2026Failure to Convert Rhythm; Material Integrity Problem

    It was reported that the patient with this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) claimed their device was defective. Additionally, the patient reported that they received 6 shocks and were hospitalized. Technical Services (TS) was consulted and documented the patients concerns, further noting that the patient experienced pain from the delivered shocks and stated their incision was not healing. The patient additionally stated that they believe a Boston Scientific Technician detected an anomaly prior but was dismissed by a colleague. TS informed the patient why shocks occur. No additional adverse patient effects were reported. This CRT-D remains in service.

    Patient problems: Impaired Healing; Pain
