Reported Shock
If unable to prove a phantom shock, electrophysiology or cardiology consult is often needed
Interrogation is mandatory, either by an experienced clinician or by device representative
Some devices can be remotely interrogated; contact the respective company representative at the above phone numbers to discuss this possibility

Repeated Shocks
Before placement of a magnet or changing the device parameters, you must determine if the shocks are appropriate (i.e. the patient is in VT storm or having recurrent episodes of VF) or inappropriate
If it is determined that the shocks are inappropriate, a magnet will deactivate the shocking function while placed over the device
Electrophysiology consult
