Recent adverse event reports
The 25 most recent of 790 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
MalfunctionSep 30, 2026High impedance; Failure to Read Input Signal; High Capture Threshold
It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) system exhibited high pacing impedance measurements within range, high capture threshold, and low intrinsic amplitude. Technical Services (TS) recommended further review. This device remains in system. No adverse patient effects were reported.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50949002 ↗InjurySep 30, 2026Pacing Problem; Inappropriate/Inadequate Shock/Stimulation
It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) delivered inappropriate anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) and inappropriate shocks due to supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Technical Services (TS) reviewed and confirmed the device was atrial driven. This CRT-D remains in service. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
Patient problems: Shock from Patient Lead(s)
MAUDE report 50946742 ↗MalfunctionSep 29, 2026Over-Sensing
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50933841 ↗MalfunctionSep 29, 2026Failure to Capture
It was reported that this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) and non Boston Scientific left ventricular (LV) lead exhibited loss of capture (LOC). Technical Services (TS) was consulted and provided troubleshooting options. This device remains in service. No adverse patient effects were reported.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50927966 ↗InjurySep 28, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem
Patient problems: Unspecified Infection
MAUDE report 50917382 ↗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.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

MAUDE report 50787470 ↗InjurySep 10, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise
It was reported that the patient with this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) was notified by their clinic of an alert associated with the implanted system. Technical Services (TS) was consulted; however, it could not be determined whether the alert was related to impedance measurements or signal amplitude measurements. The patient was subsequently evaluated in clinic, where noise was observed on the left ventricular (LV) channel. The local company representative performed troubleshooting to further assess the condition. Additionally, the patient reported that following the initial implant procedure, there had been fluid accumulation around the device and that the leads had perforated; however, no additional details regarding these reported events were available. This device remains in service. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
Patient problems: Swelling/ Edema
MAUDE report 50705831 ↗InjurySep 9, 2026Failure to Convert Rhythm; Material Integrity Problem

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
