The reported field event of set screw anomaly was confirmed.Final analysis of the device revealed the atrial setscrew was stripped.The atrial setscrew could be over force causing the setscrew to be stripped.This did not allow the set screw to be tightened and secured properly in the field.The issue was consistent with having occurred during the procedure.The device was above elective replacement indicator (eri) when received.Telemetry, impedance, sensing, pacing and high voltage (hv) output functions of the device were tested and found to be normal.A device history record (dhr) review was performed and all required manufacturing processes and inspections steps were confirmed to be completed per the requirements.The device met specifications prior to leaving abbott manufacturing facilities.
