Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50936671 ↗InjurySep 14, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem
It was reported that the patient presented with vegetations on the leads. Lead vegetation was identified by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The physician did not believe the infection was device or procedure related. The entire system, including the Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), right ventricular lead, and right atrial lead, was explanted. The patient remained in stable condition.
Patient problems: Unspecified Infection
MAUDE report 50749860 ↗MalfunctionAug 20, 2026Over-Sensing
During a remote follow-up, episodes of noise which resulted in myopotential oversensing were observed on the device. Provocative testing was performed and the noise was not reproduced. Technical Support was contacted and recommended reprogramming to resolve the event. No intervention has been performed at this time. The patient was stable and will continue to be monitored.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50334986 ↗MalfunctionAug 19, 2026High impedance
It was reported that the patient presented remotely via Merlin.net. It was noted that the right ventricular (RV) lead and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) exhibited high, out of range defibrillation impedance. No intervention was performed and the patient will continue to be monitored. The patient was in stable condition.
Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions
MAUDE report 50329405 ↗InjuryAug 19, 2026Over-Sensing; Inappropriate/Inadequate Shock/Stimulation
It was reported that the patient presented for in clinic follow-up. Device interrogation revealed that the Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited Post-Sensed T-wave Oversensing (PSTWOS) resulting in inappropriate shock and inappropriate Anti-Tachycardia Pacing (ATP). A Chest X-Ray was performed, and the physician suspected the Right Ventricular (RV) lead was interacting with a previously capped lead. Programming changes were performed to resolve the issue.
