Event Description
|
Additional information was received from the health care provider (hcp) via a manufacturer representative (rep).It was reported the physician determined the cause was due to the manipulation of the distal end of the lead after being capped during the stage 1 procedure.Additionally, it was thought that pulling on the cap to expose the distal end of the lead during the stage 2 procedure caused stress on the end of the lead.The distal end of the lead was in excellent condition when initially capped.Due to a lack of options, the physician elected to go ahead and attach the extension and ins and proceed with impedance checks.All impedances were within normal ranges upon completion.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
