Manufacturer Narrative

The explanted lead and lead extension were returned and analyzed.The complaint of the lead being stuck inside the lead extension header was confirmed.Visual inspection showed severe damage to the lead extension connector.Both the gold and silver connector block of the lead extension were removed.The silver connector block was stuck on the returned lead's proximal end and one spring contact was also removed and not returned (it was confirmed that the missing spring contact was not left inside the patient).The lead was found to not be fully inserted into the lead extension which caused the lead extension set screw to crush the lead's proximal array in between it's contacts.This caused mis-alignment of the contacts and resulted in high impedances.The most probable cause of the reported event is unintended user error caused or contributed to the event.
