Sc-1432 (sn: (b)(6)) the returned ipg was analyzed.Upon receiving, the device exhibits the eri (elective replacement indicator).The battery voltages were 2.749 volts by yack above the expressed eri threshold voltage.Eri will appear when the device battery level is below the expected range of 2.65 volts and will suspend normal operation with the end-of-service message.Lab analysis of the device did not reveal any anomalies.The energy use index (eui) for the settings was 100 and its estimated longevity is about 4-5 months.This device has generated an early eri message before the battery reaches below 2.65 volts (2.747 volts vs 2.65 volts).With all the available information, boston scientific concludes that the complaint was not confirmed.Sc-8352-50 (sn: (b)(6)) the returned lead was analyzed.A visual inspection found the lead was cleanly cut.No anomalies were identified on the lead aside from the clean-cut.The damage to the lead is a result of a typical explant procedure, and it is not considered a failure.
