The reported field event of difficulty in engaging the left ventricular setscrew was confirmed in the lab.However, the issue was found to be consistent with implant/lead revision procedure.Upon bench testing the device, the left ventricular is4 setscrew was found to have been completely backed out from its connector block as a result of unscrewing the setscrew too far.The setscrew inset was also stripped and septum debris was observed inside the setscrew hex cavity.The debris inside the setscrew cavity was removed and setscrew was re-engaged with the connector block and operated normally in affixing a test lead to the device.Interrogation of the device revealed the device was above elective replacement indicator (eri) when received.The device's functionality was bench tested; telemetry, pacing, sensing, impedance, high voltage output, high voltage shock, and patient notifier were tested on the bench.No anomaly was detected.
