Manufacturer Narrative

Device technical analysis: visual inspection of the returned ipg revealed the device could not be charged nor linked even with an external power source due to asic u3 damage caused by high-voltage transients or high rf energy during the reported procedure.Investigation conclusion: the investigation concluded that the reported event of unusual lead impedances and a dead ipg, and both a plasma blade and bipolar cautery were used during the case but not at the battery site was confirmed through device analysis.Therefore the most probable root cause is traced to unintended use error caused or contributed to event.
