The lead was returned with no reported event.As received, only the distal portion of the lead was returned in one piece.Electrical testing did not find any indication of conductor fractures.Shorting was found between conductors at the distal portion due to procedural damage.Visual inspection found at external insulation abrasion breaching the outer insulation distal to the suture sleeve impression caused by friction to another implanted device or feature of the patient anatomy.All other damage noted is consistent with procedural damage.
