The reported events of no pacing output, no inductive telemetry, and no magnet response were not confirmed.The device was received with normal telemetry communication and normal output.Analysis performed did not identify any functional issues.A longevity assessment revealed the device was operating above the elective replacement indicator (eri) voltage level with appropriate remaining longevity.During analysis, a failure event was observed which was unrelated to the reported event.Final analysis revealed an anomaly between the epoxy header and titanium case during a visual inspection of the header attachment area.A feedthrough leak test was performed, indicating a device hermeticity breach.The hybrid circuitry was tested, and the results indicated normal current drain.A manufacturing process anomaly may have occurred, which resulted in the header bonding anomaly.
