It was reported that a pe074f5 pacing catheter was unable to pace during use.Pacing was attempted after inserting the catheter into the patient, but it did not work.The catheter was exchanged and the problem was solved.The catheter was discarded at the hospital.There were no patient complications reported.The device was not returned for evaluation therefore, the customer report of unable to pace could not be confirmed.Without return of the unit it is not possible to determine a product non-conformance or device failure associated to manufacturing or design.It is not known if some procedural factors may have contributed to the event.As part of the catheter manufacturing process, 100% of the units go through an electrical continuity inspection, and continuity test performed as per procedure.A device history record review was completed and documented that device met all specifications upon distribution.Complaint histories for all reported events are reviewed against trending control limits on a monthly basis and any excursions above the control limits are assessed and documented as a part of the monthly review.
