Manufacturer Narrative

Advanced bionics considers the investigation into this reportable event as closed.The external visual inspection revealed the electrode was severed and silicone damage was observed on the top and bottom cover of the device.These are believed to have occurred during revision surgery.The device passed photographic imaging inspection.System lock could not be obtained at any spacing.The condition of the electrode prevented and electrical test from being performed.The device passed some of the electrical tests performed.The device passed the mechanical tests performed.The failure of this device is attributed to a short from the power node to the case ground at the analog chip.It is believed that electrostatic discharge (esd) led to an overload voltage, damaging structures on the case ground node inside the analog integrated circuit.This ultimately caused the device to cease functioning.A corrective action was implemented.This is the final report.Disclaimer: advanced bionics does not intend that this report be any admission of liability, fault or product defect.
