The reported event of premature battery depletion issue was not confirmed.Analysis of device image indicates that auto-capture feature was enabled and device was pacing in high output mode at times.When automatic settings are programmed, such as auto-capture feature, the device would adjust itself to accommodate the patient¿s needs for pacing and thus affects the estimated longevity of device.Analysis of device was performed, did not find any anomalies other than voltage being at eri.Longevity assessment was performed and device¿s implanted duration exceeded projected longevity and is considered normal battery depletion.
