Advanced bionics considers the investigation into this reportable event as closed.The external visual inspection revealed the electrode was severed.This is believed to have occurred during revision surgery.The device passed the photographic imaging inspection.System lock was verified.The electrode condition prevented an electrical test from being performed.The device passed some of the electrical tests performed.The device failed the residual gas analysis test.It is believed that the failure of this implantable cochlear stimulator (ics) device was caused by a loss of hermetic seal, which was concluded from the residual gas analysis data.This ultimately caused the device to cease functioning.This older device configuration is no longer manufactured.This is the final report.Disclaimer: advanced bionics does not intend that this report be any admission of liability, fault or product defect.
