Manufacturer Narrative

G3): the device evaluation and investigation was completed 18 may 2022.H3): the device was returned and evaluated by a cross functional team.The device was returned disassembled with biologics present throughout the device.A significant bend in the shaft was observed, 3.5 inches from the distal tip.Fragments of what appeared to be lead insulation wrapped in lead coils were removed from the distal tip.Looking at the barrel, the home track corner was slightly squared off and the far track corner was rounded.The drive shaft was unable to be manually actuated.X-ray revealed an additional foreign object present within the drive shaft.After soaking the device, additional lead fragments were pushed out the distal tip; however, the drive shaft still could not able to be manually actuated.Soaking and cross sectioning the device revealed the guide pin was in good working condition.The inner shaft was removed from the outer shaft with difficulty.Significant biologics were seen on the outside of the inner shaft.H6): the biologics in the device acted as a glue, causing the lead to become stuck in the device due to the inner and outer shaft being adhered to one another, and resulting in the device''s inability to actuate during device evaluation.A high degree of biologics likely caused the failure of the device.
