The reported high impedance was not confirmed.The lead was returned cut and incomplete and could not be fully analyzed.Ten cm of the middle segment was missing.Visual inspection did not identify any anomalies that would contribute to the issue.Continuity testing did not identify electrical opens.As the lead was returned incomplete, it could not be determined if it contributed to the issue.
