Event Description

It was reported that the device was not providing pacing support and was unable to be interrogated via inductive telemetry.As a result, the patient experienced bradycardia.The suspected cause of the event was premature battery depletion.The device was explanted and replaced to resolve the event and the patient was in stable condition.

Manufacturer Narrative

The reported events of premature discharge of battery, no output, and no inductive telemetry were confirmed.The device was received with no telemetry communication and no output.A visual inspection of the header attachment area detected an anomaly between the pre-cast header and titanium case.The device was cut open to enable further testing and the battery was found depleted.A feedthrough leak test was performed, indicating a device hermeticity breach.This is consistent with feedthrough damage as a result of fluid intrusion between the header and case, and subsequent fluid ingress to internal electronics.The hybrid circuitry was tested by connecting to an external power source.Test results indicated elevated current drain, consistent with moisture damage, resulting in the reported event.A manufacturing process anomaly may have occurred, which resulted in the header bonding anomaly.
