    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    BOSTON SCIENTIFIC RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT THIS PATIENT CONTACTED PATIENT SUPPORT IN (B)(6) 2010 TO ASK ABOUT A RECENT DELIVERY OF A NEW LATITUDE COMMUNICATOR. PATIENT SUPPORT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PATIENT HAD UNDERGONE A SYSTEM REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE IN (B)(6) 2010 DUE TO INFECTION. THE PATIENT HAD BEEN PRESENTED TO THE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY ((EP) LABORATORY BACK IN (B)(6) 2010. THE PATIENT'S CHRONIC RIGHT ATRIAL (RA) AND LEFT VENTRICULAR (LV) LEADS WERE SURGICALLY CAPPED. A REPLACEMENT LV LEAD WAS IMPLANTED. THE PATIENT'S CHRONIC RA LEAD WAS NOT REPLACED DUE TO ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. THE CHRONIC DEVICE WAS ELECTIVELY EXPLANTED AND REPLACED DUE TO NORMAL BATTERY DEPLETION. THE EVENT ANALYSIS DEPARTMENT RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE CLINIC NURSE THAT DURING THE PRE-DISCHARGE CHECK, THE POCKET DRESSING WAS SATURATED WITH BLOOD AND THERE WAS INTERMITTENT DIAPHRAGMATIC STIMULATION. IT APPEARS THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND THERE WAS NO INTERVENTION UNDERTAKEN FOR THE DIAPHRAGMATIC STIMULATION. THE PATIENT WAS CHECKED AGAIN (2-WEEKS POST-IMPLANT) AND THERE WAS STILL INTERMITTENT DIAPHRAGMATIC STIMULATION. NO INTERVENTION OR PROGRAMMING CHANGES WERE MADE AT THAT TIME. IN (B)(6) 2010, THE PATIENT WAS ADMITTED FOR POSSIBLE INFECTION AND A POCKET REVISION PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED. BASED ON EXAMINATION OF THE POCKET SITE AND BLOOD CULTURE RESULTS, THE PHYSICIAN FELT THAT THE INFECTION WAS VERY SUPERFICIAL. THE DEVICE AND LEAD SYSTEM WAS LEFT IMPLANTED AND THE PATIENT WAS STARTED ON ANTIBIOTICS. IN (B)(6) 2010, THE PATIENT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE RECURRENT POCKET DRAINAGE AND SWELLING. THE PATIENT WAS THEN REFERRED TO ANOTHER FACILITY AND WAS SCHEDULED FOR DEVICE/LEAD SYSTEM EXTRACTION. IN (B)(6) 2010, THE PATIENT'S DEVICE AND LEAD SYSTEM WERE EXTRACTED AND REPLACED. AN RA LEAD WAS ATTEMPTED BUT WAS NOT IMPLANTED DUE TO NO RA ACTIVITY (RA STANDSTILL). THE REPLACEMENT DEVICE'S RA PORT WAS PLUGGED.
