    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT'S IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR (ICD) HAD SHORTENED BATTERY LIFE DUE TO THE HOLTER POSITION BEING "ON". THE ICD WAS EXPLANTED AND REPLACED. THE PHYSICIAN WAS VERY ANGRY OF NOT BEING MADE AWARE THAT THE HOLTER BEING IN THE "ON" POSITION WOULD CAUSE EARLY BATTERY DEPLETION. NO PATIENT COMPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
