This lead was returned to our post market quality assurance laboratory with the helix mechanism in an extended position.Visual inspection found dried blood/tissue around the helix.Subsequent testing did not identify any product abnormalities that may have caused or contributed to the reported clinical observations.Laboratory analysis was unable to conclusively determine the root cause of the reported helix extension/retraction problems.
