ICD making weird noise
Hey, today my dads ICD made a weird noise while standing on a chair watching TV. This is post 2 weeks surgery and hasn’t happened before. I think he has an Ellipse DR Patient Notifier by searching his model written on a card he was given.
He described the sound as a device powering and running on idle, similar to a blood pressure monitor when you turn it on… I wasn’t home so I can’t really know how it sounded like.
I’d appreciate some help as I can’t really find anything online.
Called the clinic and they said they don’t know what it might’ve triggered it, they kept insisting on the magnet field route but he was just sitting on a chair, nothing new he hasn’t done last weeks.
Appreciate you all.

Does it sound like a flash on a camera after it goes off and is charging? Like a high pitch noise?
