Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event of difficulty removing the stylet that resulted in lead damage was confirmed.As received, a complete lead was returned in one piece.Stylet was not returned with the lead.Visual inspection of the lead found that the connector pin and crimp sleeve were pulled out of the connector assembly along with the inner coil which is consistent with procedural damage and the ptfe stylet coating was bunched up/clogged with the inner coil distal to the connector pin.The cause of the reported event was due to bunched up ptfe coating of the stylet inside the inner coil that prevented the removal of the stylet and excessive forces resulted in the connector pin and crimp sleeve to be pulled out of the connector assembly.
