During a repositioning surgery, the surgeon noticed that a tie-down was placed tightly around the lead.Once the tie-down was removed the surgeon noticed that the lead portion underneath was kinked.System diagnostics was performed after the device was repositioned and all values were found to be within normal limits.The surgeon assessed that the kinked lead was related to the tie down being too tight and/or the patient gaining weight and putting more pressure on the tie-down.Design history record review for the lead was performed.The lead was confirmed to have passed final functional and quality specifications prior to release for distribution.No other relevant information has been received to date.
