Recent adverse event reports

The 25 most recent of 2,640 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.

  • MalfunctionSep 30, 2026Failure to Capture; High impedance

    It was reported that this right atrial (RA) lead exhibited a loss of capture on the presenting electrogram. Additionally, a lead safety switch occurred that resulted in high out of range pace impedance measurements. Technical Services (TS) was consulted to review the system and found that the anomalies occurred while in bipolar mode. TS recommended adjusting to a unipolar pace and bipolar sense which resolved the loss of capture with full sensing available. TS noted that the health care professional was going to discuss further with the cardiologist and assess the chest x ray that was completed. No adverse patient effects were reported. This RA lead remains in service.

  • MalfunctionSep 25, 2026Failure to Sense; Device Dislodged or Dislocated

    It was reported that no sensing activity was observed on this right atrial (RA) lead. Technical Services (TS) was consulted and upon review of data determined that the lead was likely dislodged. TS recommended an x ray to confirm lead location. No adverse patient effects were reported. This RA lead remains in service.

  • InjurySep 24, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem

    It was reported that patient with this right atrial (RA) lead had undergone thoracotomy due to suspected lead perforation. After thoracotomy and examination, it was confirmed that although the helix of this RA lead had not come loose, there were signs of abrasion against the chest wall, which was the source of the bleeding. This lead remains in service after the myocardium was sutured at the tip of the lead. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50808402 ↗
  • InjurySep 17, 2026Failure to Capture; Device Dislodged or Dislocated

    It was reported that the patient experienced sternal stimulation with this right atrial (RA) lead which exhibited loss of capture due to lead dislodgement which was confirmed via fluoroscopy. This RA lead was explanted, replaced with the same model and will not be returned. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

    Patient problems: Device Overstimulation of Tissue

    MAUDE report 50805546 ↗
  • InjurySep 17, 2026Failure to Capture; Device Dislodged or Dislocated; High Capture Threshold

    It was reported that this right atrial (RA) lead exhibited loss of capture (LOC) with elevated capture thresholds. Upon review, the lead appeared to be dislodged slightly. A revision procedure was performed and the RA lead was repositioned. The lead was again not clearly capturing and the patient reportedly felt fatigued. The patient was recommended to follow up with their clinic for thorough lead testing. This RA lead remains in service. No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

    Patient problems: Bradycardia; Fatigue

    MAUDE report 50805338 ↗
  • MalfunctionSep 17, 2026Signal Artifact/Noise; Fracture; High impedance; Over-Sensing; Off-Label Use

    It was reported that the health care professional (HCP) requested a non-conditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on device with high out of range pacing impedance measurements on this right atrial (RA) lead. Technical Services (TS) was consulted for further review. Upon review, the stored electrogram (EGM) showed a lead safety switch (LSS) from bipolar to unipolar configuration due to high out of range pacing impedance measurements. Further review of stored Atrial Tachy Response (ATR) events showed RA lead also exhibited myopotential oversensing noise. It was suspected cause to be due to lead fracture. No adverse patient effects were reported. At this time, this RA lead remains in service.
