Event Description

After an implantation period of approx.104 months, it was reported that the device shows the eos status.The icd was explanted and changed.

Manufacturer Narrative

Prior to the analysis of the device, the quality documents accompanying the manufacturing process for this icd were re-investigated.All production steps were performed accordingly, and in particular the final acceptance test proved the device functions to be as specified.The device interrogation revealed the eos battery status, detected on (b)(6) 2022.The device was implanted for about 103 months.In a next step, the amount of charge taken from the battery was verified.The battery condition was not as expected.Therefore, the icd was opened and the inner assembly was inspected.The visual inspection of the inner assembly showed no anomalies.In a next step, the electronic module was attached to an external power supply and the eos status was removed with a technical programmer to check the functionality of the electronic module.The measured current consumption was normal and as expected.There was no indication of a malfunction, particularly all therapy functions were available and worked as expected.The battery was sent to the manufacturer for further analysis.The manufacturing records of the battery were inspected, documenting that the battery parameters were within specification during the battery manufacturing.No anomalies were documented during the production process associated with this battery.The visual inspection of the battery did not reveal any external signs of damage.In a next step, the battery was opened for destructive analysis.During the analysis of the inner assembly an elevated internal battery impedance was identified.It is reasonable to assume, that the increased impedance has led to a voltage drop and therefore to the clinical consequence.In conclusion, the device was implanted for about 103 months.The therapeutic functionality of the device was tested with an attached external power supply and proved to be fully functional.Analysis revealed an elevated battery impedance as the root cause of the clinical observation.
