The reported field event of failure to remove lead from the header was confirmed.Analysis of the device revealed the right ventricular setscrew was stripped.The setscrew could be over forced causing the setscrew to be stripped and failure to remove rv lead from the header.The issue was consistent with having occurred during the procedure.Interrogation of the device revealed the device was at elective replacement indicator (eri) when received.A longevity calculation was performed and found the battery depletion was normal based on the device usage.Telemetry, impedance, sensing, pacing and high voltage (hv) output functions of the device were tested and found to be normal.
