The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Over-Sensing” (234 reports).

5 other recalls cover devices cleared under the same FDA submission (P030035); 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.

  • MalfunctionSep 11, 2026Over-Sensing; Pacing Problem

    It was reported that the patient presented for a follow-up in clinic. Interrogation revealed that the atrial channel of the pacemaker exhibited far field R-wave over-sensing which resulted in inappropriate mode switching. The inappropriate mode switch caused the pacemaker to override true episodes that were not transmitted. Programming changes were made to the pacemaker to resolve the issue. The patient remained stable throughout.

    MAUDE report 50335666 ↗
  • MalfunctionAug 19, 2026High impedance; Over-Sensing; Capturing Problem

    It was reported through a remote transmission that noise over-sensing and high capture threshold were noted on the patient's pacemaker and the right atrial (RA) lead. Meanwhile, high pacing impedance measurements were noted on the patient's pacemaker, the left ventricular (LV) and the right ventricular (RV) leads from the same remote transmission. The patient was in stable condition.

    Patient problems: No Clinical Signs, Symptoms or Conditions

    MAUDE report 50314716 ↗
  • MalfunctionAug 17, 2026Over-Sensing

    It was reported that the patient presented remotely via Merlin.net. Upon review, the right ventricular lead exhibited noise oversensing, which resulted in pacing inhibition. However, it could not be determined whether the oversensing was due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the pacemaker channel. No intervention was performed. There were no patient consequences.
