Information received from the healthcare professional (hcp) via manufacturer representative (rep) reported a micro lead migration.There was a migration of the lead to extension connector into the tunneling path leading from future ins pocket site towards the extension exit site.The physician had to ask for fluoroscopy support and had to make a new incision in order to open the connection.More or time for physician and a new incision for the patient.The event seems to be a result of the brand new tunneling technique/connection lead to percutaneous extension.The physician used the trocar tip for tunneling this time.Actions taken was support by fluoroscopy and a new incision was made in order to disconnect the percutaneous extension.The issue was resolved and a surgical intervention occurred.Additional information received reported the issue concerned the first micro lead implant.Additional information received reported that the contributing factors was most likely the new tunneling technique in which the carrier tip widens the tunnel that caused migration.In the previous system, one would tunnel the twistlock connection, the tunneling route therefore was smaller than the size of the connection piece.There was no issues in the past with old tunneling techniques.The size of the pocket site was as small as possible, the lead and extension were coiled neatly, and the excess cable was coiled neatly plus fixed with bandages.

Additional information received reported that on the (b)(6) of (b)(6), they worked with new devices.It was reported that they did 4 1st stage procedures and 2 weeks after, they performed 3 2nd stage procedures and 1 removal of the lead.The new tunneling device was the cause of the migration of the connection cable.Since the connection piece was thicker and the canal you get from using the newtunneling device is wider.Therefore, some traction on the connection cable can cause the connection piece to migrate into the canal.It was reported that they experienced it on all 4 procedures.The hcp reported that they changed their procedure and have never experienced migration again.
