The returned ipg was analyzed and it confirmed premature battery depletion.Analysis of the patients database revealed the ipg was in service for approximately 6 months 18 days with an energy use index (eui) range of 20.5, and the expected range would be about 24 months per the direction for use.The patients data also shows a sudden battery drop at the time of the implant procedure, from 2.992 volts to 2.884 volts.The analysis did confirm that the incident shortened the devices longevity significantly.
