    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    A JOURNAL ARTICLE WAS REVIEWED THAT CONTAINED INFORMATION REGARDING IMPLANTABLE PULSE GENERATOR (IPG)/IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR (ICD) SYSTEMS. MULTIPLE PATIENTS AND MULTIPLE MANUFACTURERS WERE NOTED IN THE ARTICLE; HOWEVER, A ONE TO ONE CORRELATION COULD NOT BE MADE WITH UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBERS WITH THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION PROVIDED. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE IPG DEVICE SHOWED A CHANGE IN BATTERY VOLTAGE AFTER THE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI); HOWEVER, THE VOLTAGE RETURNED TO BASELINE BY THREE MONTHS POST-MRI. THERE WAS NO INTERVENTION OR REPROGRAMMING COMPLETED. THERE WAS ALSO REPORTED "EXTENSIVE ARTIFACTS" SHOWN FROM THE ICD; WITH NO INTERVENTION TAKEN. THE AUTHOR REPORTED THERE WAS ONE (1) PATIENT WITH ¿RECURRENT¿ SEIZURES WHO HAD A FRACTURED LEAD WHICH WAS FOUND ONE MONTH AFTER THE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) WAS COMPLETED. THERE WERE NO CHANGES IN SENSING AND CAPTURE THRESHOLDS RIGHT AFTER THE MRI AND ONE WEEK POST-MRI. THE STATUS/LOCATION OF THE ICD/IPG SYSTEM IS UNKNOWN. FURTHER FOLLOW UP DID NOT YET YIELD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. NO FURTHER PATIENT COMPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
