The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Device Dislodged or Dislocated” (1,430 reports).

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.

    It was reported that a patient presented remotely via Merlin.net. Review of the transmission revealed that the patient's Right Ventricular (RV) lead and Right Atrial (RA) lead exhibited oversensing noise. Provocative maneuvers were performed; however, the noise could not be reproduced. The physician elected to explant both leads and replace them with new ones. The patient's condition remained stable.

  • InjurySep 14, 2026Difficult to Fold, Unfold or Collapse; Device Dislodged or Dislocated

    It was reported that the patient presented to the hospital after receiving a vibratory alert for high pacing impedance on the right atrial (RA) lead. Upon a chest X-ray, the RA lead was completely twisted back into the pocket, and the right ventricular (RV) lead was also found dislodged; however, it was still in the ventricle and functioning. Twiddler's syndrome was suspected. Upon attempting to reposition the RV lead, the helix would not extend. Both leads were explanted. The patient was asymptomatic and was stable before, during, and after the procedure.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50752703 ↗
  • InjurySep 14, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem

    It was reported that the patient presented to the hospital with sepsis, fever and redness and swelling at the device implant site due to infection. It was also noted that the patient's left ventricular (LV) lead had vegetation due to the infection which was noted via echocardiography. The physician stated that the infection was not related to Abbotts' devices. The patient's implantable cardioverter defibrillator, the LV lead, the right atrial lead and the right ventricular lead were explanted due to the infection. A new system was implanted. The patient was stable throughout.

    Patient problems: Fever; Unspecified Infection
