A recalled pacemaker exhibited dangerous erratic pacing and no output. This previously unreported manifestation in the Telectronics Meta DDDR model 1250 poses significant patient risks.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • A 75-year-old male patient presented with symptoms including dizziness and palpitations.
  • The patient had a Telectronics Meta DDDR model 1250 pacemaker implanted 47 months prior.

Observation:

  • Device examination revealed sudden no output, a known issue for which the model was recalled.
  • Additionally, the pacemaker displayed erratic pacing rates up to 200 ppm.

Findings:

  • The pacemaker exhibited mode switching between VVIR and DDDR.
  • This combination of no output and erratic high-rate pacing is a novel finding for this recalled device.

Implications:

  • This previously unreported manifestation highlights potential hazardous patient effects beyond the initial recall.
