Manufacturer Narrative

Advanced bionics considers the investigation into this reportable event as closed.The external visual inspection revealed sliced silicone overmold on the top and bottom covers, as well as a severed electrode.This is believed to have occurred during revision surgery.The device passed photographic imaging inspection.System lock could not be obtained at any spacing.The electrode condition prevented an electrical test from being performed.The device passed the mechanical tests performed.The failure of this device is attributed to a short from a 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 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.
