As received, analysis testing found the a-setscrew was blocking the lead insertion into the a-connector.For analysis testing the setscrew was backed out from blocking the connector port.The test leads could then be fully inserted into the a-connector with normal insertion force.All connector dimensions were within specification.The reported complaint of failure to advance was confirmed.Further analysis found the wrench tip was only being partially inserted into the setscrew inset.The full amount of torque to fully tighten the setscrew cannot be applied with the wrench tip partially inserted in the inset.The reported event of failure to remove lead from header was confirmed.No device anomalies were found.The determined cause of the reported events were procedure related.
