Manufacturer Narrative

Mml reference #(b)(4).A review of the x-ray images revealed that the strain relief loops were undersized, the facial entry point of the lead is lateral to the midline, and the ipg was in a very low buttock location (far away caudal from the lead anchoring) which indicates that the surgical techniques were not ideal.The physician will be retrained on standard implant techniques including general surgical considerations.The device was returned and evaluated.The lead assembly passed the functional test and operated within the manufacturing specification.All circuits are intact.
