Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The icd was received for analysis.Prior to the analysis of the device, the quality documents accompanying the manufacturing process for this icd were re-investigated and all production steps were performed accordingly.Particularly the final acceptance test proved the device functions to be as specified.The ability of the device to deliver therapies was verified.The anti-bradycardia pacing pulses proved to be normal and in amplitude and frequency as programmed.A fibrillation signal was applied and the device delivered a defibrillation shock as specified, documenting a normal and expected sensing and shock delivery.In particular, the specified energy level was reached.At a next step the memory content of the device was inspected.The inspection revealed that the battery voltage temporarily dropped below the eri-threshold, which led to the automatic detection of the eri battery status and a notification via home monitoring to ensure patient safety.Furthermore, the data showed an inconsistency between the amount of charge taken from the battery and the battery voltage.Therefore, the device was opened and the inner assembly was inspected.The visual inspection of the inner assembly showed no anomalies.The overall current consumption of the electrical module was directly measured and proved to be normal and as expected.The battery was sent to the manufacturer for further analysis.The manufacturing records of the battery were inspected, documenting that the battery parameters were within specification during the battery manufacturing.No anomalies were documented during the production process, associated with this battery.The battery was subjected to a visual and an electrical inspection as well as a microcalorimetry analysis.The visual inspection of the battery did not reveal any external signs of damage.The microcalorimetry analysis showed an elevated heat dissipation.In a next step, the battery was opened for destructive analysis.The inspection of the inner assembly identified damaged insulation, which led to an elevated internal self-depletion.In conclusion, the device was implanted for 83 months.The analysis revealed an elevated internal self-depletion within the battery.Based on the analysis all therapy functions of the device were entirely available while the device was implanted and in service.
Event or Problem Description
On (b)(6) 2019 it was reported that on (b)(6) 2019, 2019 the battery was at 57 percent and on (b)(6) 2019 the device was at eri per home monitoring.The patient was brought in for a device check and the device was not showing at eri.The device was explanted and replaced on (b)(6) 2019.
