3 other recalls cover devices cleared under the same FDA submission (P950022); they may or may not involve this specific model.

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event, and counts can't be used to compare devices or estimate failure rates.

The 25 most recent of 2,092 reports, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.

  • MalfunctionSep 30, 2026Break

    It was reported that the patient presented in clinic for a routine generator change. During procedure, it was discovered that the patient's Right Ventricular (RV) lead exhibited an outer insulation abrasion. Medical adhesive and a suture sleeve were used to cover the abrasion. The patient was stable throughout.
